Towering former Flames player, Clement Kafwafwa, has been named the new team manager for the Senior Men’s National Team, the Flames.

In a statement released by the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) general secretary, Alfred Gunda, which YFM Online has seen, Kafwafwa will replace James Sangala, who is FAM’s Youth Football Development Officer.

Gunda said in the statement that the move is one of FAM’s strategic restructuring processes and it will enable Sangala to concentrate more on enhancing the Association’s youth development programmes.

The statement reads: “The first FAM executive committee meeting noted that when Sangala was doubling as Youth Development Officer and Flames team manager, there was a gap in the coordination of youth development programmes due to the busy Flames schedules.”

Kafwafwa returns to the position he once served under former coach Ernest Mtawali between July 2015 and July 2016
