The Football Association of Malawi has announced that at its Emergency Executive Meeting held on 12th January 2013, a decision was taken to relieve the National Coach Kinnah Phiri and the entire technical panel of its duties with immediate effect owing to a poor run of results of the Malawi National Team.

The technical team includes Young Chimodzi and Jack Chamangwana.

Plans will now be taken to fill the vacant positions that have been created in the shortest time possible mindful that the Malawi National Team will need to thoroughly prepare for the World Cup whose next assignment is in March against Namibia.
