Zimbabwean Kalisto Pasuwa has emerged as the frontrunner for the Malawi head coach post after excelling in his audition as an interim handler late last year.
The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) technical sub-committee is said to have vouched for Pasuwa as the new man in charge. He parted ways with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, ending a trophy-laden tenure that yielded five consecutive league titles until 2023.
FAM had engaged the former gaffer of Zimbabwean club Dynamos FC to handle the Flames following Patrick Mabedi’s sacking last month due to poor performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Pasuwa presided over the last two qualifying games, chalking an away goalless draw against Burundi before beating Burkina Faso 3-0 for the Flames first win of the ill-fated qualifying race, a turnaround from the previous run of four straight losses under Mabedi.
The Flames finished bottom of the group with four points, six points behind the already qualified Stallions who finished second place. Group leaders Senegal (13 points) were the first to book a ticket to the AFCON finals.
Pasuwa is expected to hit the ground running next month during the World Cup qualifiers starting with Namibia.
