The Zambia Super Division Champions announced Lupiya’s elevation on Thursday through their official mouthpiece – after officially unveiling George Lwandamina as the head coach.
And former Zesco Vic Falls Emmanuel Siwale, who led the Livingstone outfit to a second place in the 2016 FAZ Division One Zone Four, has been appointed as the 2nd Assistant Coach.

Meanwhile, Lupiya is leaving Zesco Vic Falls on second place on the 2018 FAZ Division One Zone Four log. They share the same number of points with Manchester United Academy Zambia (MUZA) – who are table toppers with goals advantage.
