Nyirenda targets third Malawi Coach of the Month award

Former Chipolopolo head coach Wedson Nyirenda is among four nominees for the October Coach of the Month award in the 2026 FDH Bank Premiership after an impressive run with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.

Nyirenda, who has already claimed the accolade in June and August, is in contention for a third award following another strong month at the helm of the Malawian giants.

The Bullets coach guided his side to four victories from as many matches in October, scoring eight goals and conceding just once.

He faces competition from Mighty Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira, Ekhaya FC’s Fundi Akidu and Silver Strikers’ Patricio Kulemeka.

Mpinganjira led Wanderers to three wins and a draw in four outings, with his team scoring three goals and conceding one.

Akidu’s Ekhaya FC recorded two victories, one draw and one defeat, scoring four goals and letting in two.

Meanwhile, Kulemeka guided Silver Strikers to a similar record of two wins, one draw and one loss. His side scored twice and conceded once.

Nyirenda will be hoping to add another individual accolade to his growing collection when the October winner is announced.
