ZSL Transfers Update: Green Eagles have officially unveiled Perry Mutapa as their new head coach ahead of the 2025–26 Zambia Super League season—and the fixture list has already written a dramatic script.
His debut match? None other than an away clash against his former side, NAPSA Stars, in Week 1. Talk about football’s poetic timing!
A respected name in Zambian football circles, Mutapa is known for his no-nonsense approach, sharp tactical mind, and the ability to get the best out of his squads. His arrival in Choma marks a new chapter for Green Eagles, who are eyeing a superb comeback into the super league after a patchy run of form in the last two seasons.
Coach Mutapa’s mission is crystal clear: build a resilient, tactically astute team that competes not just for points but for prestige. With a squad in transition, his immediate task will be to instill team chemistry and revive the club’s once-feared style of play.
Flashback: No stranger to the big stage, Mutapa enjoyed a solid playing career with stints at Orlando Pirates and earned caps for Zambia at both U-20 and senior level. That experience—both domestic and international—now serves as the foundation of his coaching philosophy.
Speaking on the new appointment, the Green Eagles Executive Committee said:
“Coach Perry Mutapa is a proven winner who brings both the tactical know-how and the motivational power to inspire success. His experience as a player and coach at the highest level is exactly what Green Eagles needs as we aim to reclaim our position among the country’s elite and pursue continental football once again.”
Week 1 can’t come soon enough. Coach Perry vs. NAPSA—it’s more than a reunion. It’s a statement.
