Bob doesn’t care meeting fellow Mpinganjiras

Coach Bob Mpinganjira is obsessed with ensuring his Bvumbwe Research’s TNM Super League survival to even think about his Mighty Wanderers relations.

Lying second from the bottom of the 15-member league on 15 points, Bob will this Sunday, in Balaka, line up against his young brother Albert and his son Victor who are Wanderers assistant coach and striker respectively.

“I am minding my business with my team. I do not care about issues of relations. I would rather devote my time and energy to the team,” he said yesterday when asked about preparations for the game.

Having beaten Nomads in the Presidential Cup, the rookies paid dearly. They lost 4-0 in the subsequent Super League encounter with the promising Victor being among the scorers. But Bob thinks the first round result is a closed chapter.

“I am too busy to think about the first round result. Let us say this is a different challenge altogether. I have not given up hope of survival; hence, we need to collect the points,” he said.

Bvumbwe have in three second round games won once, defeating Azam Tigers 1-0 last weekend.

On Sunday, Wanderers would be seeking to atone for last week’s futile 0-0 draw with Kamuzu Barracks in which they wasted chances. The Nomads are fourth on 28 points.

Wanderers coach Felix Fosco believes it is a matter of time before his charges find the scoring boots again.

As of last week, the Nomads had the likes of Anthony Banda and Mapopa Msukwa on injury list.
