Chico wants someone younger not Mwaanga :: Mmegi Online

Extension Gunners head coach, Daniel 'Chico' Nare has told the club it was supposed to be 'younger' and not 'Mwaanga' after the executive committee appointed, Stanley Mwaanga as his assistant. Last week, Gunners named Stanley Mwaanga as Chico's assistant, but the head coach has revealed that, instead, he wanted someone younger and not Mwaanga.

The move as the club said, was meant to fill the gaps in the technical team as Nare is consistently involved with the CAF A License training and would have limited time to train the team. Over the weekend, in the absence of Nare, Mwaanga guided Mapantsula to a 1-0 win over Notwane in his first game in charge.

Speaking to MmegiSport, Gunners' public relations officer, Isaac Mmualefe defended the decision to appoint Mwaanga as he said the club was looking for an experienced tactician who could fill in for Nare. He also said the club would in the near future accede to Chico's request to look for a younger coach. "Chico only said Mwaanga is a bit old and he wants us to appoint a younger coach to work with him. He wants a youthful coach whom he can drill even when Chico leaves, we would be in safe hands.
