ZNS Commander demands more
However, following the victory on Sunday, ZNS commander Maliti Solochi was happy with the result but reminded the coach that there were two games remaining for him to secure his job. “All sponsors want to see their teams win,” Solochi told reporters at the Independence Stadium. “Our impression today is that we have a good team with a good fighting spirit. All they need is to be pushed to work for their money. “I gave him three matches, Ultimatum, so he is remaining with two matches. It is still there; they must win two matches; he [Namazaba] has won one; he has redeemed himself, which is very good; and also, the players have shown that we must always play as a team. It’s not always the coach to blame; it’s also the players. This momentum they have started, let it continue; let them not lose focus,” he concluded.READ MORE: Mufulira Wanderers inflict more misery on Nkana
