Former KAA Gent forward Roger Kola has been named as the official captain of Zambia Super League side, Sensational Zanaco.
Kola has been influential for the Bankers and scored 18 goals for them last season despite the Lusaka based outfit failing to make the cut for Continental football. He has led the Bankers on the pitch since the arrival of head coach Chris Kaunda.
“Sensational Zanaco FC head coach Chris Kaunda has named striker Roger Kola as the man to lead the Bankers in the 2020/21 soccer season. Kaunda made the announcement during the team’s meeting at the team’s hotel in Livingstone on Sunday afternoon.
Kola has led the Bankers since the arrival of Coach Kaunda who has now made his decision to officially hand him the armband permanently.”
During the transition league and the first half of the 2019/20 season, Zanaco FC technical bench rotated the armband between a few players to encourage more leaders in the squad to develop.
Kola will be assisted by Ziyo Tembo, Racha Kola, and Kevin Owusu in that order.
