In a move that promises to revolutionize Malawi’s football scene, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers FC has officially approached Zimbabwean coach Norman Mapeza to take the reins.
Mapeza, renowned for his impressive coaching career, is expected to arrive in the country next week for talks with club officials.
Mapeza’s illustrious coaching background boasts stints with:

- Platinum FC
His notable achievements include:
- Four consecutive Castle Challenge Cup wins
- Four consecutive Castle Lager Premier Soccer League titles

Mapeza’s appointment is poised to challenge the dominance of FCB Nyasa Big Bullets FC, which has long held sway over Malawi’s football landscape.
This development also puts pressure on:
- Kalisto Pasuwa’s historical success
- Emerging coach Peter Mponda’s prospects
Wanderers’ bold move signals their determination to reclaim their spot among Malawi’s football elite.
With Mapeza at the helm, fans can expect a revitalized team strategy, honed tactics, and an injection of fresh talent.
“The arrival of Coach Mapeza marks a new chapter for Wanderers,” said a club official. “We’re confident his expertise will propel us to greater heights and bring excitement back to our supporters.”
As Mapeza prepares to touch down at Chileka Airport, Malawi’s football fraternity eagerly awaits the impact of his presence.
Will Wanderers’ gamble pay off, or will Big Bullets maintain their grip on the league?
