Recently resigned Silver Strikers coach Peter ‘Mjojo’ Mponda is understood to have already signed a two-year contract with his prospective employers FCB Nyasa Bullets.
A well-placed source confided in The Nation that conclusion of the deal awaits the return of the club’s president Konrad Buckle, who was reportedly outside the country.
Said the source: “Peter already did his part and completition of the deal awaits the club president to append his signature and, thereafter, he [Mponda] will be unveiled.”
But Mponda declined to comment on the issue when contacted yesterday.
“Please bear with me. I am not commenting anything on the issue at this stage,” he said.
On when they plan to unveil their new coach, the People’s Team acting chief executive officer Albert Chigoga yesterday said: “We will do so once the whole recruitment process is concluded.”
Mponda, who resigned from Silver almost a week ago, is set to replace his former boss Kallisto Pasuwa, whose contract expired yesterday and was not renewed.
He served as Pasuwa’s assistant for three seasons during which Bullets won the TNM Super League title three consecutive times before securing a coaching job at South African second-tier league side Black Leopards FC.
In the just-ended season, Mponda led Lilongwe-based Silver to their first league title in 11 years before stepping down.
He had already extended his contract by another two years when he resigned.
