Mulwanda unveiled as new head coach at Forest Rangers 

ZPL National League side Forest Rangers has confirmed the appointment of Boyd Mulwanda as new head coach taking over from Mathews Ndhlovu. 

As reported by the ZamFoot Crew yesterday, Mulwanda is the new head coach for Fole Malembe after leaving his role as assistant coach to George ‘Chicken’ Lwandamina at Nchanga Rangers. 

Mulwanda will be assisted by Kennedy Kashobondo who replaces Dennis Makinka who has parted ways with the club alongside Ndhlovu. 

“Forest Rangers Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. 𝐁𝐨𝐲𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚  as the new Head Coach. Coach Mulwanda brings a wealth of experience and a clear vision that aligns with the club’s ambition to return to the  Zambian Premier League. He will be assisted by Mr. Kennedy Kashobondo as First  Assistant Coach, while the rest of the technical bench remains unchanged,” the club wrote in a statement availed to the ZamFoot Crew. 

The club also took time to wish Ndhlovu and Bakala well in their future endeavors after a six month stint at Dola Hill. 

In 2007 the former Kabwe Warriors player guided Forest Rangers to the Coca-cola Cup championship but this time around things could not work out as he leaves barely eight games into the 2025/2026 season. 

“The club also takes this opportunity to extend its sincere gratitude to outgoing Head Coach Mr. Matthews Ndlovu and First Assistant Coach Mr. Dennis Makinka for their dedication and service. The club wishes them every success in their future endeavors.”

Fole Malembe are currently 5th in the National League with 16 points after eight games, 3 points adrift of log leaders, Trident FC. 

The Ndola based outfit were relegated from the MTN Super League last season after a less than impressive campaign.
