Local coaches trash FAM’s decision to hire an expatriate coach

The decision by Football Association of Malawi (FAM) to hire an expatriate coach for the Malawi National Football team (the Flames) has strongly been condemned by the local coaches, Malawi24 can reveal.

The FA is said to have engaged Malawi government on the possibilities of hiring an expatriate coach for the depleted Flames saying the association has tested every local coach but the team was not performing as expected.

But this statement hasn’t gone well with local coaches who have since asked FAM to reverse this decision.

More than 25 local coaches, who were graduating with CAF A Coaching License on Tuesday afternoon, said this is the right time for them to take over since they have acquired more knowledge.

“I think it’s unfair for the FA to overlook us for an expatriate coach. If you check our history, the team has never qualified for African Cup of Nations with an expatriate coach on board but with a local coach, why underestimating us?. This is the right time for us to take over since we have acquired more knowledge from this CAF A Coaching Licensing course so we are urging the FA to reconsider hiring one of us,” said Yasin Osman who coached the team sometime back.

The Flames post became vacant in August this year following the expiry of Ernest Mtawali’ contract before hiring his deputy Nsanzurwimo Ramadhan on an interim basis.

The FA has made it clear that an expatriate coach is likely to take over the team next year.

  1. I fully support FAM for that decision. Local coaches can but nepotism too much. The team that went to Angola was assembled by Kim and later Kina brought in his brothers, cousins and nephews. Young brot silver, enawo mukudziwa,

  2. The best way the government can do is that bring the coach and give him a room to recruit good players and give them ajob and pay them monthly and their allowances . Give them a certain thing to do .

  3. The problem isnt with whosoever coach bt inadequate funding and lack of motivation coupled with clear seeding plan. Learn frm fellow Africans in the west

  8. FAM is very right. The local coaches are total rubbish. They have failed us big time. Yasin was tried, and so were kinnah, young, Jack, Eddington, Ernest and… The list is endless. There is nothing new these guys can offer.
