Former Zambian Champions Zanaco F.C are set to announce the re-signing of Augustin Mulenga.
The 32- Year old is reported to have signed a short term contract with the bankers as he tries to rekindle his past performance with his former team whom he helped win their seventh league title.
Mulenga was a shock exit from South African side Amazulu after his contract with the Usuthu was not renewed as he suffered an Achilles tendon injury.
He was released despite being considered one of the key players in the squad that qualified for the Caf Champions League for the first time with their then coach, Bennie McCarthy last season.
The Zambian winger bitterly complained to the club after learning that they were not going to renew his contract. He lamented that it was unfair not to renew his contract after getting injured while playing for the team.
“I am just appealing to them to help me get back on my feet; until I get back on my feet, I have kids, family and people who depend on me, it’s going to be difficult for me and those people, I won’t have money to help them and their needs,” he complained.
The Chipolopolo star scored eight goals and registered 13 assists in 48 games for the South African club after joining them from Orlando pirates in October 2020.
Mulenga emerged as one of the leading figures in attack and played a pivotal role in the McCarthy-led Amazulu that finished as runners-up of the 2021-22 South African Premiership and secured first ever qualification for the CAF champions league.
He will now look to revive his career at Sunset Stadium after recovering from a long injury that kept him off the pitch.
