Trident FC Announces Departure of Head Coach Albert Kachinga
Trident FC, currently struggling in the MTN Super League, has made significant changes to its coaching staff in a bid to address its poor performance. The club has announced the departure of head coach Albert Kachinga and his assistant Joseph Musonda, citing a series of disappointing results since the team’s promotion to the league.
The decision to part ways with Kachinga and Musonda comes amid a challenging season for Trident FC, where the team has managed to secure just one victory in 17 games. With nine losses and seven draws, Trident finds itself in a precarious position, facing the looming threat of relegation.
In response to the team’s struggles, Trident FC has appointed Ernest Kofi as the caretaker coach to lead the squad through the remainder of the season. Kofi’s tenure marks a new chapter for the club as it seeks to turn its fortunes around and salvage its position in the league.
The departure of Kachinga and Musonda signals a significant shake-up within Trident FC, with the club management aiming to inject fresh energy and tactical acumen into the coaching setup. Under Kofi’s leadership, Trident FC will look to regroup, refocus, and mount a spirited effort to climb out of the relegation zone.
As Trident FC navigates through this transitional period, fans will be hoping for a resurgence in form and a renewed sense of optimism. With the season progressing, all eyes will be on the club as it strives to rise to the challenge and secure its place in the MTN Super League.
