We don’t have good coaches in Malawi – Steve Liwewe Banda

Renowned football commentator says Malawi has no good coaches even at club level.

Steve Liwewe Banda has backed the Football Association of Malawi’ (FAM) decision to hire an expatriate coach for the Malawi National Football Team.

Speaking during midweek sports programme on MBC, Liwewe Banda said Malawian clubs have no good quality coaches to take the game to another level.

“If you ask me, I will be honest with you that we don’t have good local coaches. Our clubs have no good coaches at all that will improve the teams and at the same time, help the performance of our National Football team.

“Look at player development, we have seen good players only existing for less than three years because we don’t have good coaches who can develop players from their current level to another level so I am backing FAM for coming up with a decision to hire an expatriate coach, we surely needs one,” he said.

However, his counterpart Paul Kamanga was quick to disagree with Liwewe’s sentiments saying the environment they are in is not conducive enough for the development of the game.

The FA is just waiting for Malawi Government’s approval to hire an expatriate coach in readiness for the upcoming CHAN qualifiers and the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Amalawi tidziwe ichi, siyense amapita kusukulu kukaphunzila kuti angakhale mphunzitsi, sizoona kuti aliyense anasewerapo mpila ndikukhala coach. Ndichifukwa chake always timamva kuti am in a process over building ateam, its only in Malawi whereby a coach takes almost five solid years to come up with a performing team that has never happen.

Liwewe that not true. Even if you can bring the best coach in the world to come and coach our team here they will not bring the World Cup not even the cosafa cup. How can you expect them to reform wonders without the strong financial support to prepare for the games. They even fail to go for comping in good time because of no money. What about friendlies and good preparations. What you said is one of the fallucies at its best.

#Liwewe wakalamba uyu,the problem is we don’t have football academies mpira timauyamba titakula kale.What i mean here is dat many players amayamba kuvala boot ndikumenya opopa mapazi atazolowela chokulunga.This is same as kuongola mtengo utakhwima kale.Ma coach ndi abwino and we have talented players but time of grooming them is very late.
Kuti mufufuze mma club mupeza kuti player ambiri boot kapena mpira opopa adaunziwa atakula kale.Chonchi ma coach sangaoneke luso lawo coz amakhala pachintchito chophunzitsa how to put on boot,mmalo mowaphunzitsa how to control a ball.
