Nkana Football Club has placed Head Coach Mwenya Chipepo and first Assistant Coach Christopher Katongo on administrative leave with full pay and benefits, the club said on Monday, citing the need to address internal matters amid a poor run of results.
Club media officer, Mike Mubanga, said the measure was procedural and intended to allow ongoing internal processes to proceed without disruption.
In the interim, former Zambia international Elijah Tana has been appointed Head Coach.
He will be supported by Josephat Nkhoma as first Assistant Coach and Donashano Malama as second Assistant Coach, Mubanga said.
