ANALYST APPLAUDS SILVER ON MGANGIRA HIRING

One of the country's soccer analyst, Justin Mitambo, says Silver Strikers has taken a great move to hire Peter Mgangira as their head coach as he is now having a vast experience plus knows the culture of the team.

He said this after reports that the Bankers has settled for Mgangira to replace Peter Mponda who has left the team one year after coming at the Area 47 side.

He believes it's time now to utilize home grown talent now as Mgangira knows the culture of the team having been at the team for years now.

"Mgangira knows football pattern of silver strikers. He has been there for a while under different mentors. He was there with Mponda, he knows tactics of Mponda, Silver wanted someone like him indeed." Said Mitambo.

Mgangira, who played for the team also during his playing time, was a deputy coach under Mponda in the title winning 2024 season and was with Peter De Jongh and also Dan Kabwe at the team.

"WE WANT TO FINISH ON HIGH" - MPONDA

Silver Strikers head coach, Peter Mponda, has described their final game against Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos as most important as they target to finish on a high note despite winning the League already.

He said this on Friday ahead of the match at the Silver Stadium on Saturday which he said his team needs to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against FOMO last Wednesday to end on a high.

"It is an important game to us, of course we concluded the league last week but we need to finish on high and also see how the players are because we lost in Mulanje because they were relaxed so we need to see them now." Said Mponda.

However, he thanked his team's supporters for their overwhelming support this season that has also helped the team much to win the League.

The Bankers have managed to pick 18 wins, 10 draws and a defeat in 29 games played this season and have managed to get 64 points in these matches.
