Some Zambian Coaches Are Wizards, Says Wedson Nyirenda
Respected coach Wedson Nyirenda has taken a dig at some local coaches for allegedly using juju in their game.
The 2010 Zambian Coach of the Year who has never been known to mince his words said some coaches imposed their juju practice on their players.
Fondly known as Wada, Nyirenda who is currently based in Mozambique where he is coaching a local side said some coaches were more witches than trainers of the game.
Below is Wada’s post on social network facebook:
JUJU IN ZAMBIAN FOOTBALL:
Did I not condemn this practice earlier before this? When I said this I was perceived as a talkative coach. Listen WRONG WILL NEVER BE RIGHT. Some coaches in Zambian football are not supposed to be coaches but witches.
I am so mad at this today, last week I saw a clip on the game on Supersport where players were busy planting some stupid charms on the pitch and I am told even yesterday in Lusaka there was the same practice. No wonder we are failing the coaching exams like utupuba. And you players you accept to do that kind of practice with your stupid coaches. UM– USEBANYA.
When I carpeted one coach at a coaching course we met, his answer was “Ni ka psychology coach WADA”. If you have good psychology teach your players and not bring out those foolish charms to the pitch. The name of my nation is painted black by these foolish chaps. Look at the results, the same coaches have not won a single thing. Not even a spoon to show in the cabinet.
I WANT TO SOUND A WARNING TO PLAYERS HERE. If your coach comes to you and ask you to take something you don’t know or suspect to be juju to the field, tell him to do it himself.
Some PLAYERS have ended up not having children because they have been used in these stupid rituals. And you want me to keep quiet. You will have to kill me than letting me see this rot go on. If your coach tell you that he will stop selecting you in the team. TELL HIM YOU ARE GOING TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD THAT HE IS A WITCH AND NOT A COACH. MALABISHI BATI. World cup, TINGOTAMBA CHABE BANZATHU. MONGA ISE TINAFWA. It is because of this same kind of thinking.
If you want go again and have your dark corner meetings against me. Mwachepa san My God will scatter you in seven directions. When the team is coming to the stadium Muleimba Hallleluya and when they enter the pitch you start planting dead fetishes. God will visit you.
Read football, plan football, practice football.Win games. I WILL BE BACK WITH MORE.

I agree with you Wada. This is what is killing our game and talent. The sad thing is that some players can’t play without muti of some kind and worse still they bewitch their team mates. Muti coupled with poor administration at the top is downhill for our national sport.

Its true nika psychology imwe ba Nyirenda mwechipuba.Witchcraft doesnt exist so those just want to psychologically affect the opposing team by convincing them that whatever they will do they will not win the match because the charm is at work.Mulekwata amano

In 1974 Zambia lost to then Zaire (now DRC) as the Zaireans had a monkey in Goal. That is when the term JuJu was coined. Please if you can go to the archives of one of the National papers ( I cannot remember which one), but although I was only in grade 1(One), I remember the article was written by a reporter called WIKE WANSA. please check the archives.
