Former Dynamos and Warriors coach, Kalisto Pasuwa has been appointed the Malawi national Under-23 team coach ahead of the Cosafa Cup.
The Nyasa Bullets, four time title winning coach in Malawi, will lead the team at the regional tournament since the senior team will be engaged in the World Cup qualifiers.
Malawi newspaper Daily Nation reported in Wednesday of Pasuwa's appointment.
Pasuwa passed on an opportunity to apply for the Warriors coaching job when it was advertised by Zifa recently.
He took the Warriors to the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Gabon in 2017.
Before that he won four leagues titles on the trot with Dynamos.
There have been loud calls for the former Dynamos midfielder to return as Warriors coach but he prefers to stay put in Malawi.
There has been a lot of controversy in the national team with the Zifa normalisation committee struggling to appoint a substantive coach for the team.
