{{Football Associaton of Malawi (FAM) president Walter Nyamilandu has admitted his organisation does not have the money to hire another expatriate coach immediately.}}<\/p>\n
He also confirmed the deal with Belgian coach Tom Saintfiet, who began work on a voluntary basis in July, has ended.<\/p>\n
Nyamilandu says Saintfiet’s agreement with the Flames finished ended after the 2-0 defeat in Calabar on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“For now I am not too sure whether we will be able to afford and expatriate coach or whether we will be able to find a capable local coach,” Nyamilandu told media.<\/p>\n
“We do not have the money now and what would determine the outcome is how much money we have.<\/p>\n
“The money that is available is currently being used to pay former national coach Kinnah Phiri and his team.<\/p>\n
“The rest of the funding for the national team for this year has been exhausted so we can not afford now to hire a national coach or let alone hire interim coaches.”<\/p>\n
Nyamilandu and FAM have time to find the money to hire a new coach with the next competitive football not scheduled to take place until 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers begin in November next year.<\/p>\n
Saintfiet’s assistants Eddington Ng’onamo and Patrick Mabedi are also looking for new jobs following the loss to the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n
Former national coach Phirri, his assistant Young Chimodzi and technical director Jack Chamangwana are all still employed as development coaches under contracts with the Malwi government.<\/p>\n
The government decided to redeploy the trio rather than sack them and so have to pay damages and have contracts until May 2014.<\/p>\n
