Outspoken Zambian coach Keagan Mumba has died, according to bolazambia.com
Reports reaching bolazambia.com indicate that Mumba, who until his death was on the sidelines of the Zanaco technical bench, died in the early hours of today at Lusaka Trust Hospital.
The former Zambia assistant coach who has a stint with the Under-20 and Under 23 died after an illness.
Mumba has coached several clubs in Zambia including Green Buffaloes, Zanaco, Green Eagles, among others.
He is credited for his contribution to township sports, particularly the Sports for All programme in Chawama where he spent most of his life nurturing players like the late Chaswe Nsomfwa, Charles Mulinga, Ignatius Kapokola, Sydney Tembo, Boston Mwanza among others. He established teams such as Junior Matikays which featured in the Chawama amateur sports league.
Mumba will be remembered for his candid contribution to Zambian football and ability to speak his mind off on the Zambian game.
Last year, he was handed a ban by FAZ for condemning a makeshift national team trial programme under Herve Renard which he argued was ignoring the already established youth structure.
