Our head coach is in contention for a third monthly honour of the season after guiding The People’s Team to four successive league victories.
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach Wedson Nyirenda has been nominated for the October Coach of the Month award in the 2026 FDH Bank Premiership.
Having already claimed the June and August awards, Nyirenda is back on the shortlist after guiding The People’s Team to four consecutive league victories across October and the final fixture on 1 November before the break.
Bullets opened the run with a 2-0 victory over Blue Eagles at Mpira Stadium, where Chawanangwa Gumbo broke the deadlock before Ephraim Kondowe doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.
The winning run continued away to Mafco at Civo Stadium, with Clever Kalambo opening the scoring before Tinaye Tsimba struck twice late on to complete a commanding 3-0 victory.
Back at Mpira Stadium, Bullets made it three successive wins with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Civil Service United, Paul Master coming off the bench to settle the contest with an 83rd-minute winner.
Nyirenda’s side then extended their winning streak with a 2-1 victory over Masters FC on 1 November, with Kalambo and Misheck Billiat on target in the final league outing before the break.
Across the four matches, Bullets collected all 12 available points, scoring eight goals and conceding just once.
The latest nomination places Nyirenda alongside Mighty Wanderers coach Bob Mpinganjira, Ekhaya’s Fundi Akidu and Silver Strikers coach Patricio Kulemeka.
Mpinganjira recorded three wins and one draw, while Akidu and Kulemeka each registered two wins, one draw and one defeat.
The People’s Team also has representation in the October Player of the Month shortlist, with Misheck Billiat earning a nomination after contributing one goal and two assists across the four matches, including a crucial strike in the 2-1 victory over Masters FC.
