Wedson Nyirenda says he is still finding his feet in the South Africa PSL despite winning the 2018 Telkom Cup with Baroka FC on Saturday.
Nyirenda guided Baroka to their debut cup title triumph in their eleven years of existence when they beat favourites Orlando Pirates 3-2 on post-match penalties following a 2-2 draw at the end of extra -time.
Baroka’s Cup win comes just five months after Nyirenda was appointed coach of the struggling South Africa PSL club after he quit his post as Zambia coach.
“The first Cup for Baroka and the entire Limpopo. It gives me pleasure to give those people the first trophy,” Nyirenda said.
“It is only five months for me in the PSL. I’m still learning PSL football and already we have bagged one cup. It is so pleasing. I want to thank my wife who has been supportive.
“This lifts a lot of burden that I had throughout this year including losing my mother.
“We knew what to expect from Pirates they are a good ball distributing team, ball holding team and they can run. They did all they could but tactically we had planned to close their switch play and channels on the wings.”
Congrats Wada! I think you were better than this Mseveni, your successor
Nyirenda you are so amazing and you make us proud!!
LIFT the flag of Zambia high!!!

Most Zambians lead by Kamanga are disappointed, they want Nyerenda to fail.
