Leopards sacked Goalkeeper trainer Mohamed Fwaya has defended his clean record
saying he doesn’t know why his services were terminated.
He said Leopards officials took their priority wrong adding that losing is part
of the game .The former AFC Leopards Goalkeeper said the action taken to
overhaul the entire technical bench will not add value since those who will
take over will work under immense pressure to deliver.
“To the best of my knowledge, added Fwaya, I did nothing wrong and no official
has come out openly to point my anomaly. I’m just reading in the daily press
and social sites.I believe we did our best despite few wrangles here and
there.Last year we finished fifth compared to our current position three which
was impressive.Everybody know’s the just ending Premier League was very
competitive.The League went to the wire where the winner was determined in the
very last day.So I don’t see the reason why Leopards executive went ahead to
drop us?”” wondered Fwaya.
He said he will continue to support the team but said few officials in the team
will stand accused since they were misleading the club Chairman Alex Ole Magelo
who has helped the club tremendously.
He described Magelo as a true father and a guiding figure who needs the
support of every Ingwe fan. ‘Personally, I have a lot of respect for
Magelo.The man loves the team with all his heart.But his great work is hampered
by few officials who continue to mislead him.There was nothing wrong with
the playing unit or the technical bench.Everybody played his role
effectively.It was just bad luck.Nothing else” lamented a bitter Fwaya.
He said he was dropped early last month when the club lost 2-1 to Western Stima
at the Afraha Stadium but nobody told him his crime.’I feel pain, he added,
when I see the clubs great progress being smeared by few officials.The action
they took to overhaul the technical bench was not timely and it will tear apart
the club even further.’
AFC Leopards executive recently announced the overhauling of the entire
technical bench led by head coach Jan Koops.Several key players were sending
packing including legendary Noah Wanyama-father to Inter Milan midfielder
MacDonald Mariga.
Phiri named a 20-man squad which will face Rwanda on November 26 in the opening match of Group C of this year’s Cecafa Challenge Cup at Namboole Stadium in Kampala.
Howver, Phiri has cracked the whip by dropping two senior midfielders Frank Banda and Davie Banda after they sneaked out of training camp for beer drinking.He said he will not entertain indiscipline in the team.
“I have faith in the young players who have discipline. They have to prove to the nation that they are good,” he said.
Right-winger Mician Mhone of Blue Eagles, defender George Nyirenda and striker Innocent Bokosi have been included for the national duty for the first time.
Former APR forward Msowoya Chiukepo, who now features for Escom United, leads the striking force for the Cosafa side, which was preferred to Cameroon and Zimbabwe as a last minute replacement for Djibouti and will be making a third appearance in the competition which dates back to 1926.
