Former Zambia U17 National team coach Chris Kaunda has been shortlisted for the vacant position of head coach of Malawian Super League side Big Bullets according to reports in Malawi.
The Nyasa Big Bullets top job fell vacant earlier this week after coach Gilbert Chirwa left the club on mutual consent.
Chirwa was appointed interim head coach in December 2025 and guided The People’s Team to Castel Challenge Cup success and a second-place finish in the final season of the TNM Super League era.
Kaunda faces stiff competition from former Mighty Wanderers Coach Mark Harrison, former Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp—and Gerald Phiri Senior.
An announcement is imminent, and is expected during the upcoming FIFA International Break following the weekend’s fixtures.
Kaunda was the head coach who led Zambia to their debut CAF Under-17 Africa Cup outing in 2015.
The Dutch trained coach who holds a UEFA B , and CAF A coaching Licence has also coached ZANACO FC, Kabwe Warriors and Nkwazi FC among many other teams.
