Had they conducted themselves as professionals, we would have the league with a couple of matches to spare,” he said.Mwalala unperturbed with player exodus at HomeboyzShimanyula in the meantime hinted of hiring a foreign coach to plug in the gap left by Mwalala with local tacticians set to fill in the other slots vacated by their predecessors.” There is a possibility that we may bring in a foreign coach. The management will peruse through profiles of gaffer who had expressed interest and pick the best. If we don’t sign a foreigner, then we will go for the best in the land,” he said.
