Big Bullets FC players have supported their coaches amid reports that some supporters are exerting pressure on the executive committee to fire them.

The club’s general secretary Higger Mkandawire on Tuesday admitted that there is growing pressure from the fans to review the coaching panel, especially after the team’s shock exit from the Carlsberg Cup.

Bullets captain Fischer ‘Anong’a’ Kondowe said they were aware of the development.

“It will be suicidal to fire the coaches because we lost to Eagles because of complacency,” said Fischer.

He said so far, the Eddingtone Ng’onamo-led coaching panel has done a good job, citing the Presidential Cup triumph as an example.

Mkandawire said the club is having a series of meetings to try to get to the bottom of the problem.

“Of course, I can confirm that there is growing pressure, including the supporters’ main committee, to review the coaching panel, but we do not want to be influenced by emotions,” he said.

Mkandawire said the coaches have the backing of the executive committee.

However, Ng’onamo said he has no problems if the club decides to fire him and his backroom staff.

“I am ready to quit, but it is only the executive committee that has power to remove me and not the supporters,” said Ng’onamo.

He attributed the team’s loss to a hostile atmosphere at the stadium.

“The environment was hostile. The whole stadium was against us and they were insulting players such as Gabadinho, chanting: “Wothawa sukulu uyo! The atmosphere was not conducive, as such, the players could not express themselves,” he said.

When Bullets lost to Mighty Wanderers in the first round of the TNM Super League and in the Standard Bank Knockout final, the coaches also came under fire.
