“Those are just mere speculations. We haven’t had any meeting discussing the sacking of our coach Milias Pofera.”

“At the moment, we will have a meeting to review what went wrong for us in the first round to endure such a bad start but we must confirm that our coach is staying put,” said Chiwaula.

It has also been reported that Civo is determined to hold on to Jegwe rather than go through the mess of a mid-season change.

Last month, reports circulated in the local press that the former Dedza Young Soccer coach, who is a CAF A Licence holder, was no longer in control of his own dressing room after he fell out with influential Civo players to the extent of exchanging words during the team’s training sessions.

On Sunday, Civo Service supporters had an emergency meeting where they demanded for an explanation on why the team is struggling in the on-going season but there was no immediate response from their administrators.
