The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has unveiled former FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Coach Kalisto Pasuwa as the new Malawi Men’s Senior National Team Head Coach.

According to a statement from the federation seen by Pan-Africa Football, the Zimbabwean will be in charge of the Flames for two years.

Apart from Big Bullets, the 54-year-old Pasuwa, had coached Dynamos Football Club, whom he led to four consecutive league titles as coach from 2011 to 2014 writing his own piece of history.

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 Patrick 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.
