BOSSO BOUNCING AFTER KAINDU’S RETURN
HIGHLANDERS believe they have brought the right man, who knows the club well, after bringing back Kelvin Kaindu as their head coach.
Kaindu was in the country yesterday before returning to Zambia.
“Highlanders Football Club is delighted to announce Kelvin Kaindu as the head coach for the club’s first team,” Bosso said in a statement.
“Kaindu is not new to the club, having previously played for Highlanders in 1997, before he was entrusted with the Bosso dugout between 2012 and 2014.
“The entire management and the club would like to extend a warm welcome to Kaindu and wish him all the best as he opens yet another chapter with Highlanders Football Club.” Sources said:
“The coach was in the country on other business. However, he met the Highlanders leadership and verbally agreed on everything.
“He is yet to put pen to paper because everything hinges on Highlanders sponsorship.
“So many clubs were hunting for Kelvin Kaindu’s signature.”
Kaindu, an ex-Bosso winger, is a stone that the Bosso family surprisingly turned their backs
against way back in 2014.
Highlanders spokesperson Nozibeli Maphosa yesterday said the club was yet to be approached by clubs seeking the services of their players.
“All technical issues involving Kaindu’s backroom staff and players, the club will make a statement,” she said.
Mbongeni Ndlovu is wanted by FC Platinum. He will be a natural replacement for Gift Bello who retired on the last day of the championship after almost two decades as a player.
The title holders have not hidden their intentions of wanting to strengthen their team ahead of their 2024/25 Confederation of African Football Champions League appearance.
Bosso are yet to negotiate contracts with some of their senior players who include Ray Lunga and Brighton Manhire.
