BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-FCB Nyasa Big Bullets assistant coach Heston Munthali will lead the People’s Team when they face Moyale Barracks on Sunday, as the club prepares to announce a permanent head coach in the second week of June.
Munthali’s appointment follows the sacking of Gilbert Chirwa.
The development comes amid a transitional period at the FDH premiership giants following recent changes in the technical bench.
Club officials have confirmed that Munthali will be in charge of team selection, tactics, and matchday decisions for the Moyale fixture, with support from the remaining backroom staff.
Munthali is a familiar figure at Bullets, having served the club in various coaching capacities over the years.
His knowledge of the squad and experience in the domestic league are expected to provide stability as players and supporters wait for the arrival of a new substantive coach.
The club’s leadership believes his interim role will keep preparations on track while the recruitment process for the head coach position is finalized.
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets management said the appointment of a new head coach is at an advanced stage, with an announcement expected in the second week of June.
The club has been engaging candidates locally and internationally as it seeks a tactician who can maintain the team’s dominance in Malawian football and push for continental success.
Sunday’s match against Moyale Barracks at Kamuzu Stadium is important for Bullets as they chase maximum points to stay in the title race.
Supporters will be watching closely to see how Munthali organizes the team and whether the players respond positively under his guidance.
The People’s Team has enjoyed a strong league record in recent seasons, but consistency has been key to their success.
Munthali’s short-term assignment gives him an opportunity to steady the ship and keep morale high before the new coach takes over.
With the Moyale clash set for Sunday, all eyes will be on Munthali’s temporary leadership and what shape the squad takes ahead of the coaching change expected next month.
