Zesco United regrets the recent wrangles between the head coach George Lwandamina and the referees which was  becoming bad and unprofessional.

Yesterday, 29th August, Club Chief Executive Officer Justin Mumba had a meeting with the technical team who were advised to match their behaviour with the status they have in Zambian Football.

Lwandamina apologized for the actions and has since written a letter of apology to the club.

The club takes full responsibility for the behaviour the technical team and referees must feel free to officiate our matches both home and away from this moment be no interference from the bench.

As a club we wish to also register our displeasure that the letter from the Referees Manager was on social media before it got to us. We believe that our Head Coach is also the national team coach and his letter should have been treated with confidentiality.

The club has since proposed to meet with the referee’s Manager and the Head Coach.

The club further regrets the unfortunate incident that happened on the 24th August between Lwandamina and  Times of Zambia reporter Samuel Lukhanda reporter.

Zesco United pledges to support the media and ensure a conducive working environment for both parties.

  1. Its just a polite way of explaining his likely absence in the game against Sundowns. Even if he was fit, he still would not be in the team. I think its time to move forward even for Zambia yaaa – but Jacob Banda ????
