Malawi coach motivated to beat Ghana after contract extension
Posted On Friday, 5th October 2012
Kinnah Phiri wants to beat Ghana, to say, thank you the Malawi government
Malawi coach Kinna Phiri says he is motivated to beat Ghana as a reward to the Malawian government for extending his contract.
The 57-year-old has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him in the job until January 2014.
The Malawian government announced the deal on Tuesday but have not gone public with the exact details.
The former Free State Stars trainer believes the timing for the renewal of his mandate will serve as a morale booster ahead of the crucial 2013 African Cup of Nations return fixture against the Black Stars.
“You know in Malawi, it is the government that pays the salaries of the technical team and they have decided to extend my contract until 2014 ,” Phiri told Sunyani-based Storm FM
“I believe the government want us to be motivated ahead of the Ghana match and we cannot disappoint them, we have to win and qualify as a reward to the government and the nation.
“Nothing will serve as a morale booster to me and my backroom staff than our contract extension ahead of the Ghana game.
“I don’t think Ghanaians will believe it but to me, we are working so hard together to surprise them at Lilongwe and reward the government hugely for recognizing our work.”
The Black Stars hold a 2-0 advantage against The Flames from the first leg with the reverse fixture scheduled to take place on October 13.

Dis game is going to a shoot-out!
This big and thick neck man again!!! This guy is simply funny and he talks as if Malawi is Brazil…. common Malawi with mediocre coach and highly unprofessional back room staff… common minnows with no real football talents but assembled of partime labourers as a national team? Malawi cannot beat any team in Ghana and this coach knows that!! You want to win this match with 35 yrs old players parading as veterans… this guy is confident because he has his three of his so called veterans returnees and therefore he is going to win!! Common man,we ll come to your blantyre and beat u again because u simply an dummy coach and that’s was glaring during the first leg in accra and i know u simply an empty barrel without no ambitions to back your talks…. who cares if they have renewed your contract because in the land of the blind,one eye is the king and this is a perfect case in malawi… u can only be a coach in your Malawi and no where else again because u highly incompetent!!!! Viva the revolutioncion!!!!
Well done coach.ur ryt u have now a duty to delivering is that its not to the pipo of malawi.and the conforting thing is that it is not brazil,spain or germany but it is ghana.so go in there n fight for it watever happens…… happens.all the best big man
A win for malawi is good enough n very possible coach
Is there any reason to insult the coach? He is just a man of his beliefs.So u Ghanaians think because u have a group of gangstars hiding in Europe but paraded as professionals then u will win in Lilongwe?Yes we will use some experienced players so what is ur problem?Esau Kanyenda is not even 35 but 29.He has played for several top clubs in Russia notably Rostov and Locomotive Moscow and is far better than ur misfiring Asamoh Gyan. Please wait and see what Malawi has in store for u before running ur mouths too much.We beat Egypt which is by far better than u so why being so arrogant?Even if we dont qualify we will make sure we put it on records that we beat u.
