FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Part Ways with Head Coach, Peter Mponda

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have announced that they have parted ways with head coach Peter Mponda, bringing an end to his tenure at the People’s Team.

The decision comes barely hours after Bullets’ hopes of winning the 2025 TNM Super League title were mathematically extinguished following a goalless draw against Mighty Tigers on Saturday. The result confirmed that the club has failed to clinch the league title for a second consecutive season.

In a statement published on the club’s official website, Bullets confirmed the departure but did not immediately disclose details regarding the terms of separation or plans for a replacement.

Mponda’s exit has sparked mixed reactions among Bullets supporters, with some fans expressing disappointment over the team’s inability to reclaim domestic dominance, while others have questioned the timing of the decision given that the season is yet to conclude.

FCB Nyasa Big Bullets still have one fixture remaining in the 2024/25 TNM Super League season, a match against Mzuzu City Hammers, which will now be played amid uncertainty over the team’s technical leadership.

The club is yet to announce who will take charge of the final game of the season or outline its technical direction ahead of the next campaign.

Wanderers Go Top After Silencing Karonga United at Kamuzu Stadium

Mighty Mukuru Wanderers have dislodged FCB Nyasa Big Bullets from the summit of the 2025/26 TNM Super League after easing past a stubborn Karonga United 2-0 in a rain-soaked mid-week fixture at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre. The victory was a sweet revenge for the Nomads, who a few months ago suffered a 2-0 defeat to the same side at Karonga Stadium in the Airtel Top 8. Coming from a wave of criticism following their shock first loss of the season to relegation-threatened Mzuzu City Hammers, Wanderers approached Wednesday’s match with renewed urgency, discipline, and tactical sharpness. Their intent paid off early. It took only eight minutes for in-form striker Promise Kamwendo to break the deadlock, calmly slotting home after connecting with a brilliant Isaac Kaliyati delivery. Wanderers, deployed in a fluid 3-5-2 formation, continued to dominate possession and stretch the visitors, whose rigid 4-4-2 setup struggled to cope with the Nomads’ width and high pressing. The pressure eventually cracked Karonga United’s resistance as Garddie Chirwa doubled the lead in the 29th minute with a thunderous strike that left the goalkeeper rooted. The Nomads went into the break 2-0 up, and although the second half was heavily affected by a strong downpour, the hosts managed the game well and kept Karonga United at bay. After 90 minutes, the scoreline remained unchanged, sealing a crucial win that pushes Wanderers to 62 points—three clear of their rivals FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. With momentum now on their side, Wanderers will play their remaining three fixtures at home. They host Civo Service United on Sunday before taking on Moyale Barracks and Kamuzu Barracks in their final matches of the campaign.
