Lungu, JCC Football Agency relationship collapses

The relationship between Alick Lungu and JCC Football Agency has collapsed before the materialization of their initial agreement, Wa Mpira can reveal.

Lungu had agreed with the UK-based Football Agency in a deal that would see the Agency hunting for a European club for the Flames full-back.

The agreement prompted the youngster left-back to rebuff FCB Nyasa Big Bullets’ contract extension proposal, a development that saw the club banning him from training with the team until his contract expired in May.
