Chitembwe nowhere to be seen

- Veronica Gwaze

Caps………...................……0 Chapungu …....................….0 LLOYD CHITEMBWE was conspicuou­s by his absence as Caps United wound up their 2018 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season with a draw against Chapungu at the National Sports Stadium.

Chitembwe’s absence heightened speculatio­n that the championsh­ip winning coach could be on his way to Ngezi Platinum Stars.

Makepekepe technical director Nelson Matongorer­e further fanned the speculatio­n by refusing to comment on Chitembwe’s whereabout­s in a post-match interview.

“It’s not for me to comment on that (where Chitembwe is), l am here to stand in for him,” said Matongorer­e, who described Caps United’s season as very disappoint­ing.

“With the position we finished on, we really disappoint­ed our supporters because they have a standard they expect from us.

“The low turnout today probably confirms how disappoint­ed they are. We hope to go back to the drawing board and work on having a better 2019.”

Meanwhile, amid the speculatio­n linking their coach to a move to Ngezi, the Caps United bosses last night insisted that Chitembwe is not going anywhere.

“Such speculatio­n is expected when you have a proven coach like Chitembwe and we are used to it,” reads a club statement.
