Chombo Sadik replaces Stuart Mbolembole who resigned recently.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) A coaching licence holder leads a seven-member technical panel.

She will be deputised by Abel Mkandawire as first assistance coach and former Flames international Andrew Chikhosi as second assistant coach.

Her appointment comes after Council for Southern Africa Football Association (Cosafa) encouraged its members to let women take a leading role on women’s football.

FAM technical director John Kaputa said it was high time a female coach took over the women’s national team coaching job.

“I think Maggie is the perfect candidate  for job. She is qualified and vastly experienced,” he said.

Chombo Sadik has been assistant coach to male national team coaches Temwa Msuku, Thom Nkorongo and recently, Mbolembole.

The former national team captain also owns women’s team side Blantyre Zero FC and Maggie Chombo Football Academy which participates in men’s FMB Under-20 league. n
