The Zambia Army has officially unveiled Wedson Nyirenda as coach of Green Buffaloes Football Club (GBFC).
Nyirenda has signed a one year renewable contract.
At a signing ceremony at Arakan barracks today, Army Commander Lieutenant General Paul Mihova has tasked the new coach to redeem GBFC’s lost glory of the 1980s when the club was a household name in the football fraternity.
He pledged the Army Command’s support to the coach and the team to ensure they regain the lost glory and win this season’s title.
And Nyirenda, who has several awards to his name among them Coach of the Decade, said he would work on the foundation of the club, promising to build a strong team that would do better than before.
He has called on the players to uphold discipline, saying Zambia Army is well-known as an entity that promotes discipline, and as such, the players are expected to portray the sponsor’s image through discipline.
Nyirenda is taking over from Bilton Musonda, who was an interim coach in the last season.
Nyirenda was coaching HCB Songo Footbal Club of Mozambique for the last two seasons.
Among many other clubs he has coached include ZANACO and ZESCO United.
This is contained in a statement issued by Zambia Army Spokesperson Colonel Chris Musonda.
