Power Dynamos, the defending champions of the MTN FAZ SUPER LEAGUE, are preparing for a crucial encounter against Simba SC in the CAF Champions League preliminary round. The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 16th in Ndola. However, there is uncertainty looming over the future of their coach, Mwenya Chipepo, as his contract is set to expire in a few weeks and discussions about his future remain pending. Power Dynamos, who secured their first league victory of the season with a 2-1 win over NKWAZI FC in a rescheduled fixture during week two, have struggled to deliver the level of performance expected of them. Following a 5-1 loss against Red Arrows in the final match of the last campaign, they have managed to secure just two wins in their last 7 games, with two draws and three losses. This run of form has raised questions about the team's capabilities. Reports suggest that there have been issues within the club, particularly regarding the relationship between the executive committee and the head coach. These internal tensions have not contributed positively to the team's performance. During the off-season, Power Dynamos played Simba in a friendly match held in Tanzania, which they lost 2-0. Their woes continued with a 3-1 defeat against Forest Rangers in the Black Label Carling Cup. Coach Mwenya Chipepo attributed the loss to the fan-selected lineup as the reason for the team's unconvincing display. In the CAF Champions League first-round qualifiers, Power Dynamos suffered a 2-1 defeat against African Stars in South Africa. The coach partly attributed the loss to unfavorable weather conditions. However, they managed to secure a 1-0 victory in the return leg at home, setting the stage for their upcoming clash with Simba. Overall, Power Dynamos' recent performances have fallen short of the standards expected from a defending champion. As they prepare to face Simba SC, the uncertainty surrounding the coach's future adds another layer of intrigue to this important match.
