FRANCISTOWN: Former Mochudi Centre Chiefs coach, Elias Chinyemba says he did not see his departure from the club coming.

Chinyemba was shown the door by the First Division South side on Tuesday, just two days after the transfer window closed. Zambian mentor, Mike Sithole is in line to replace him.

“I spent the whole of Friday finalising the signing of players that I had recommended to the club for the new season. I never saw my departure coming. I am very hurt by the manner in which I was released by the club. It is the nature of football. Some things can happen unexpectedly,” Chinyemba said, consoling yesterday.
