MBABANE – Former Royal Leopard and Denver Sundowns Zambian Coach Manfred Chabinga had to retaliate after an attack from a fan.

Chabinga, who spent over five years in the country, now leads Zambian Premier League side Nkana FC. 

He was attacked last week during Nkana’s clash against Green Buffaloes and the fans were being allowed for the first time in stadiums in Zambia since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the diggers.news, the Nkoloma Stadium was turned into a boxing arena after a Nkana supporter invaded the pitch for a punch up with coach Chabinga last Wednesday.

unconvincingly

“Chabinga has been a man under fire this season after starting the league unconvincingly and it was only a matter of time before the fans had their chance to vent their anger.

“Well, one supporter took matters into his own hands squaring it off with Chabinga, who did not shy away,” wrote diggers.news.

The online publications added that with Nkana trailing 0-3 in the 68th minute, the unidentified supporter invaded the pitch, charging towards Chabinga on the Nkana bench. 

It is stated that Chabinga was, however, ready for it and gracefully exchanged punches with the supporter, much to the amusement of fans on the terraces.

However, the bout did not last for long as the duo was separated. Chabinga was given a red card by the referee and sent to the stands for failure to keep his cool amidst the attack.
