Typically it’s the players who are hotcakes during a transfer window but this one has seen a gaffer take centre stage – Aggrey Chiyangi.
Chiyangi, 61, has attracted interest from three MTN Super League sides ahead of the 2025/2026 season.
The former Power Dynamos star has taken Nkwazi to new heights as head coach, but his success hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Several clubs are now circling, ready to lure him away with attractive offers, making it a potentially volatile off-season for the talented tactician.
Green Buffaloes who recently part ways with Masauso Tembo have put him as a priority to take over at the Zambia army sponsored outfit.
Mighty Mufulira Wanderers is another club that has expressed interest in the former Nkana boss.
Chiyangi is also wanted by his former club. Green Eagles who recently sacked their entire technical bench.
Chiyangi started his coaching career at Chambishi and led them to the 2007 Barclays Cup final against Zesco United.
He enjoyed a successful spell at Green Eagles between 2017 and 2022. He made them a formidable side who finished in the top five and played continental football regularly.
In 2018, Eagles finished in 4th position which earned the club qualification to the CAF Confederations Cup. Their best position came in the 2019 season, where they finished in 2nd place and subsequently qualified for the CAF Champions League.
In July 2019, Eagles made a debut at the CECAFA Kagame Cup in Rwanda where they were bronze winners after beating AS Maniema Union of DR Congo 2–0 in the third and fourth place playoff match in Kigali.
On 24 August 2019, Green Eagles eliminated South Africa’s Orlando Pirates from the CAF Champions League competition as they drew 1–1 in a preliminary round, second leg match at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg.
Tonka Tweende won the tie 2–1 on aggregate having edged the first leg 1–0 in Lusaka, Zambia two weeks earlier.
Chiyangi has also coached Zanaco and Nchanga Rangers . On the international scene, he led Zambia to the 2019 Cosafa triumph.
As a player, he won multiple titles at boyhood club Power Dynamos including the Mandela Cup. He played in the 1994 African Cup of Nations final against Nigeria.
