Silver Strikers coach Peter Mponda is instantly in high demand, only two days after ending FCB Nyasa Big Bullets’ dominance in the Malawi league.
The former Flames U-20 coach is expected to replace Zimbabwean coach Kalisto Pasuwa at Bullets, whom the Malawi national team plans to hire permanently.
Mponda, who joined the Lilongwe-based club in February last year, has helped the team win the league after an 11-year wait.
Apart from Bullets, Creck Sporting is said to have also tried to sign Mponda after the team suspended head coach MacDonald Mtetemera.
Regarding the rumours, Mponda declined to comment.
“I am hearing this from you [that Bullets and Creck are after me] so I cannot comment much. What you should know is that I am contracted to Silver and I need to finish what they asked me for. Silver employed me when others doubted me, so I needed to give them what they wanted,” he said.
Silver won the league on Sunday, defeating the Mighty Mukuru Wanderers 1-0 at the Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.
They won the league with two games to play, earning 64 points, ten more than Wanderers, and securing their ninth league title.
Mponda, 43, had played for the Bullets before joining the Leopards in South Africa.
The former Flames captain was named Bullets assistant coach in 2021 but resigned to become an assistant coach for South Africa’s Leopards in 2023. After the previous coach left, he took over as head coach before moving to Silver in February.
