2012 AFCON winner Kennedy Mweene has confirmed his retirement from football ending a career spanning two decades.
The former Free State Stars goalminder towards the end of last season chipped in as Sundowns’ assistant goalkeeper coach.
The Chipolopolo legend is expected to continue in that role deputizing Wendell Robinson.
Mweene, 38, is one of the most decorated Zambian players in the last 25 years.
He has won over 15 major titles including 8 PSL League titles, 3 Nedbank Cups, 2 Telkom Knockout 1 MTN 8, 1 NFD Title , 1 CAF Super League, 1 CAF Champions League and an African Cup Of Nations title.
Thank you my
-A goalkeeper who read the game to perfection from the back,directing “traffic” like no other!
-In 2012 outpsyched another very famous warrior in a shootout!
– History will record his contribution to Zed football..
God bless you and watch over you!!!!
What an amazing servant to his country and an amazing ambassador for the game. I really wanted to see him in the Chipolopolo set up one more time. We are still searching for a number one. I remember him saving a penalty in COSAFA cup and I also recall wondering if he was the right guy when Zambia was up 3-0 against Congo Brazzaville (thanks to a Mbesuma hat trick) only for Mweene to concede two goals and Joseph Musonda telling him off Atti ikata bola! He has grown so much. His save of the Gyan penalty, his amazing point blank save in Africa Champions league. What a great player. Amazing.
Mr Mweene thank you so much for good leadership skills commanding your defence and not shaken during afcon 2012 final. What a star….
Shot stopper with an eye for goal too. Thank you sir
Thanks Mweene though Sundowns never used you fully
Let gas convince him so that he plays his last afcon.
