Tenant Chilumba Takes Over as Mufulira Wanderers Head Coach
Mufulira Wanderers, one of Zambia’s most historic clubs, has appointed Tenant Chilumba as their new head coach. Chilumba signed a two-year and eight-month contract and is tasked with guiding the team to better performances after a difficult start to the MTN Super League season.
He will be supported by Joseph Musonda, a Zambian football legend and 2012 AFCON winner. The coaching team also includes Goalkeeper Coach Charles Kalumba Mpunga and Physical Trainer Joseph Sitali, both of whom will retain their positions.
