Esau Chalo Zulu Returns to Chipata United After Reconciliation with Club Executives

In a surprising turn of events, Esau Chalo Zulu has been reinstated as the head coach of Chipata United after reconciling with the club’s executive committee. This development comes as a relief for the team and its supporters, bringing an end to the turmoil that ensued following Zulu’s suspension earlier in the week.

The reconciliation was achieved through a meeting held at the Council Chamber in Chipata, where both parties addressed their differences. Sources present at the meeting reported that the executive committee was directed to reverse its decision to dismiss Zulu, allowing for his return as head coach.

Zulu’s suspension had originated from his suggestion to the club’s executive chairman to dissolve the committee if they couldn’t secure sponsors for the financially struggling team. This suggestion, fueled by the team’s reliance on gate takings and well-wishers for daily operations, had led to his initial dismissal.

The recent meeting facilitated a constructive dialogue, with both parties expressing a commitment to prioritize the stability and success of the team. With the internal issues resolved, attention can now shift to reviving Chipata United‘s fortunes on the field.

To address the previous divisions within the team, some players had been training under Zulu, while others followed the executive’s direction. With Zulu’s reinstatement, the team aims to reunite and refocus on its upcoming league fixtures. The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) had granted Chipata United a two-week grace period to resolve its internal matters before resuming league play.
