Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Moyale Barracks coach Nicholas Mhango has called Silver Strikers coach Pieter de Jongh \u2018stupid\u2019 for complaining about the condition of the pitch Mzuzu Stadium<\/p>\n

The Central Bankers were eliminated from the FDH Bank Cup following their 10-9 post-match penalty loss to the Kaning\u2019ina Soldiers after the regulation time ended 1-1.<\/p>\n

In his post-match interviews, De Jongh said: \u201cThe stadium is in poor condition, we can\u2019t play our football, so we failed to find goals today,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

But responding to De Jongh\u2019s remarks, Mhango called him stupid for demeaning what he called Malawian infrastructures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are stupid when they say this pitch is bad. It is the pitch for all Malawians. It is the stupidity of the highest order. Tell whosoever that they are stupid,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n

This was the second time for the Dutch coach to complain about the facility, having played at the same venue when his charges hammered Ekwendeni Hammers 3-1.<\/p>\n

Super League of Malawi is yet to react to Mhango\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n

In a related development, De Jongh, for the second time running, blasted the media for asking \u2018stupid\u2019 questions.<\/p>\n

When asked as why he attributed the loss to the condition of the pitch when his side had earlier lost to Mighty Mukuru Wanderers at Kamuzu Stadium, a facility that uses an artificial turf, the Bankers coach told the reporters to stop asking stupid questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t ask me stupid questions. These are stupid questions,\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n

Sulom is also yet to summon the Dutch tactician over these remarks.<\/p>\n
