He joined Zesco for his second spell, having left them to join the Jangwani Boys in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>He led Yanga to the Mainland Premier League title in his debut season after guiding Zesco to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The Zambian replaces Romanian Aristica Cioaba, who parted ways with the club on a mutual agreement (after which Azam FC said was because of unpleasant league results).<\/p>\n<p>Out of 50 matches that Cioaba handled after joining the team in 2019, the Romanian managed to get 28 wins, 11 defeats and 11 draws. His sacking came after he led the club to 12 matches of the league.<\/p>\n<p>He was shown the door after losing 0-1 to Yanga despite relinguishing at the top spot. Prior to Yanga, he also led his side to another 0-1 defeat to KMC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: THE former Young Africans coach, Zambian George Lwandamina has said that he has an experience in African football, therefore expecting to bring about development at Azam FC when he takes new charges.
