An insider within the club has informed Zed Sport that Chipepo and his assistant coaches are showing reluctance towards renewing their contracts, set to expire on August 31st. Their discontent stems from their dissatisfaction with the remuneration provided by the club. According to the source, the coach and his staff are contemplating their future with the Kitwe side and are indicating that they won't commit unless the Zambian League champions substantially improve their current compensation package. The source emphasized, "Despite Mwenya Chipepo leading us to victory and clinching the league title after a 12-year drought, it's disheartening to see the coach having to cover his own travel expenses from Ndola to Kitwe. His salary pales in comparison to what other coaches in the league are earning." Furthermore, the informant revealed that Chipepo's dissatisfaction extends beyond mere financial aspects, as he feels undervalued by the club despite having made significant personal sacrifices for its success. This situation brings to light the challenges faced by numerous coaches across different sports disciplines in Zambia. The struggles being experienced by Chipepo and his coaching staff shed light on the broader issues within the realm of coaching compensation and treatment in the country.
