Elvis Kafoteka, a Malawian football coach, has achieved by a significant milestone in his career by obtaining the CAF B licence. This accomplishment has not only boosted his confidence but has also equipped him with a deeper understanding of the game.

Kafoteka expressed his excitement and gratitude, stating, “This licence has opened my eyes and given me more understanding about the game. I’m now sharper and better than I was, as I’ve realised there were things lacking in me that I’ve now gained through this licence.”

The CAF B licence is a prestigious coaching certification that demonstrates Kafoteka’s commitment to his craft. He acknowledged that obtaining the licence was not easy, requiring sleepless nights and hard work. However, he believes that this achievement will help him become a better coach, enabling him to understand himself, his team, and opponents more effectively.

Kafoteka’s ambition extends beyond Malawi’s borders. He dreams of working outside the country, recognising that this will require even harder work. For now, he is patiently waiting for the right opportunity to join a team that will provide him with the necessary resources and autonomy to build a squad that shares his vision.

In his previous coaching roles, Kafoteka felt constrained by limited resources and the inability to select his preferred players. Despite these challenges, he takes pride in the progress his teams have made, citing examples such as Extreme FC and FOMO FC. Kafoteka is confident that, given the right opportunity, he can lead a team to league victory.

With his CAF B licence in hand, Kafoteka is poised to take his coaching career to the next level. His determination, passion, and commitment to excellence make him an exciting prospect for any team seeking a skilled and ambitious coach.
