Creck Sporting Club have strengthened their technical panel with the hiring of Gerald Phiri Senior and Fischer Kondowe.
Phiri Senior has signed a year-long deal as coach Ernest Mtawali’s assistant while Kondowe is fitness trainer.
Creck General Secretary Aaron Mtaya said they are continuing with efforts to rebuild and improve the team’s performance following a difficult start to the 2026 season.
“We are delighted to welcome Gerald Phiri Senior and Fischer Kondowe to Creck Sporting Club. They bring with them vast experience and expertise that would be crucial in helping the team improve its performances and achieve better results,” he said.

The development follows the club’s decision to part ways with former coach Eliyah Kananji following a disappointing start to the campaign which saw Creck collecting just five points from six matches.
The poor run of results left the team rooted at the bottom of the league standings and prompted management to take decisive action. Mtaya said he was confident that the newly assembled technical panel has the experience, knowledge and leadership qualities needed to revive the club’s fortunes.
He said the club deliberately gave Mtawali the freedom to select members of his technical team in order to build a strong and cohesive coaching unit.
“When we appointed coach Mtawali, we also trusted him to identify professionals who share his vision and philosophy. We believe the technical team he has assembled has the capacity to transform the club’s fortunes,” Mtaya said.

He added that club management remains committed to supporting the coaching staff as they work towards lifting the team from the lower end of the table.
“Our objective is to see Creck Sporting competing strongly and moving up the standings. We understand that rebuilding takes time, but we are confident that this technical panel has what it takes to guide the club in the right direction,” Mtaya said.
