‘Quick Silver’ tips Nkana 

…as three Super League clubs seek his services 

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

FORMER Nkana FC coach Beston Chambeshi has advised the club to work hard and find a winning formula after going eight games without a win.

Nkana are bottom on the Super League table with three points collected from three draws and five losses.

Chambeshi was hesitant to comment on issues involving Nkana after he was placed on administration leave in August, two weeks after the new football season was launched.

However, the gaffer who led Kalampa to two consecutive defeats to Red Arrows and Mutondo Stars, which triggered his exit said the Kitwe giants have individuals who can help the team now led by Ian Bakala to resolve the challenges the club may be facing now.

“I can’t comment anything about Nkana because I’m out of the system now. There are people inside the system who are supposed to sort-out the problems there. All they need is to work hard and find a winning formula otherwise I can’t comment much on Nkana issues,” Chambeshi said.

Meanwhile, Chambeshi said he is free to join a team of his choice after his contract with Nkana FC came to an end on October 21.

Chambeshi, nicknamed Quick Silver during his playing days at Nkana, said he was ready for a new challenge after reflecting during the close to two months he has been absent from the game.

“My contract had finished so there is no one who can say that I breached the contract for Nkana because if I had joined a team they would have said that I breached a contract but now I’m free,” Chambeshi said. 

Asked if he had received any offers, the experienced gaffer who helped Nkana to avoid relegation on three occasions said; “I have received offers. About three teams have approached me but because of my administrative leave, I didn’t want to breach the contract with Nkana. So now I’m free and within three weeks you will hear something.”  

As one of the most experienced coaches in the country, Chambeshi previously tutored Power Dynamos, Chambishi, Lumwana Radiants, and Kansanshi Dynamos and both the senior men’s national team and the Under-20 which he led to winning the AFCON title on home soil in 2017.
