“Chambeshi was not the problem” – Nkana fans say

Some Nkana Football Club fans believe Beston Chambeshi was not the problem, as they reacted following the team's continuous winless run.

Chambeshi was sent on administrative leave on August 29, and his sacking was later confirmed following the appointment of Ian Bakala from the Forest Rangers.

After six games played, Nkana remains winless while occupying the bottom spot in the Zambian Premier League standings.

This follows a disappointing 0-0 draw against Trident Football Club on Sunday at Woodlands Stadium.

Some fans have since taken to social media to compare Chambeshi and Bakala suggesting that the former was not a problem at the club.

“There was no point in firing BC [Beston Chambeshi],” Muleba Mushimbi wrote on Nkana FC’s Facebook page post.

Kuke Kuke also reacted: “Beston Chambeshi was innocent.”

Others believe the problem is with the players, and are afraid the team might get relegated.

“The entire squad is a problem. Get rid of them and bring new ones,” Khondwani Manda fumed.

Katyoka Mafoti Jr. also commented, “I am not going to be surprised if we get relegated.”

After Matchday 6, Nkana’s record in the 2023/2024 season sees them having two points having drawn twice and lost four times.

With one goal scored so far in the campaign, Kalampa poses the worst goal-scoring record in the League so far. They are also the third-worst defensive record having conceded five goals.

Only fellow strugglers in the bottom four Green Eagles and Trident have conceded more, 9 and 7 goals, respectively.

Nkana will continue chasing for their first win of the season when they come up against old nemesis, Mufulira Wanderers at Shinde Stadium this weekend.
