In a shocking turn of events, Kings Kangwa's club manager, Barak Bakhar, at Red Star Belgrade, has been relieved of his duties following a disappointing 2-1 derby defeat to FK Partizan Belgrade. Bakhar's tenure came to an abrupt end the morning after the loss, marking the culmination of a tumultuous period for the Zambian international. During Bakhar's tenure, Kangwa endured a frustrating spell, being benched for eight consecutive games without making a single appearance. The manager's decision to sideline the Zambian player raised eyebrows, especially considering Kangwa's pivotal role in Belgrade's success last season. Kangwa, who had previously played an essential role in the team's achievements, struggled to secure playing time this season, a trend that intensified with Bakhar's arrival at the beginning of the campaign. The manager's swift departure after just half a season signals a need for change within the club. As the club looks to bounce back and reclaim its top spot in the league, Vladan Milojević emerges as the leading candidate to take over for the second half of the campaign. Milojević is no stranger to Belgrade, having commenced his coaching career with the youth team in 2011 before progressing to coach the first team in 2019. The impending managerial change is anticipated to provide a fresh start for Kings Kangwa, who is expected to return to the club in February after participating in the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Ivory Coast. Despite Kangwa's eagerness to explore opportunities away from the Serbian giants, Milojević's potential appointment could pave the way for the Zambian international to reclaim his position within the team.
