CRECK suspends head coach Kamwendo and two others

CRECK Sporting Club has suspended Head Coach, Joseph Kamwendo after a poor start to the 2025 season.

Joseph Kamwendo’s turbulent season at CRECK Sporting Club took another hit on Sunday as Francisco Madinga’s lone strike secured Mighty Wanderers FC’s fourth consecutive league victory, handing CRECK their third defeat in just five matches.

The loss leaves CRECK Sporting Club struggling in 13th place with a mere four points from five games. Their sole victory came against Mighty Tigers, and they managed to hold Blue Eagles to a draw. However, heavy defeats to FCB Nyasa Big Bullets and Dedza Dynamos, alongside the narrow 1-0 loss to Wanderers, underline their inconsistent form.
