Chipolopolo Boys captain Rainford Kalaba has been named as the new TP Mazembe.
Kalaba has replaced veteran Jean Kasusula. The left back is expected to be a bit by bit player.
The 30 year old becomes the first non-Congolese player to captain the Lubumbashi side in the last 8 years.
Kinshasa raised Tresor Mabi Mputu, Kidiaba and Bedi skippered the side.
In 2014, ex-Chipolopolo Boys coach Honour Janza handed Kalaba the armband after stripping off Chris Katongo.
Meanwhile Kalaba was on target as Mazembe beat Lubumbashi Sports 4-1
thanx ba mupa for your hard working
Kalaba deserve this arm band he has work very hard to establish himself on the continent of Africa otherwise congrate the master
Aba bola ba master
Amen!!!!!
Sunzu had a short stint as captain of TP as well if my memory serves me well.
Congrats to Kalaba.
Rainford has earned the respect of the Lubumbashi faithful after years of solid service ,loyalty and a good measure of talent.
On another note – does anyone know where one could get the new Chipolopool and TP mazembe jerseys????
You are a leader. Show your experience cause you’ve been there you know what it takes. Keep it up Reinford
