NAM appoints Joana Kachilika as queens head coach

The Netball Association of Malawi (NAM) has appointed former Queens defender, Joana Kachilika, as the head coach of Malawi Queens on a two- year contract.

The former Imosys Queens skipper has replaced Peace Chawinga who parted ways with NAM last year.

According to a letter, signed by NAM’s, General Secretary, Isaac Chimwala, the former queens captain has been appointed alongside Eleanor Mapulanga as assistant coach and Beatrice Mpinganjira as Physical Trainer.

NAM has also announced that it has named Christina Mkwanda as the head coach of Malawi Queens U21 and will be assisted by Cecilia Bondwe and Vincent Shombe.

Rose Chinyama has been assigned the Under-20 side with Tereza Chipolopolo and Elnes Kachama being her assistants.

Last year the queens lost all games at Fast 5 World Netball Series Campaign in New Zealand and the new Technical Panel will be hoping to turn around queens misfortunes ahead of the Commonwealth Games and Netball World Cup in Australia in 2027.
