Mabedi takes FAM to court over unfair dismissal

By Chisomo Phiri

Former Malawi National Football Team, the Flames,head coach, Patrick Mabedi, has dragged Football Association of Malawi (FAM) to court over what he says unfair termination of his contract.

Through his lawyer, David Kanyenda, Mabedi is demanding K157 million from FAM.

FAM terminated Mabedi’s two-year contract due to the Flames’ poor performance in the continental Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 showpiece, where they won only two games and lost eight under Mabedi’s leadership.

However, Mabedi disagrees with FAM’s decision and is seeking justice through the courts.

Meanwhile, FAM president, Fleetwood Haiya, has justified Mabedi’s dismissal.

“What do you do when an employee is not performing?,” said Haiya.

Mabedi was appointed the Flames head coach in October last year.
