There have been various reports of fighting between Jolawi and Awono.<br \/>\nA source told the Standard that &#8220;There was a lot of negative energy in the team. The bench was bloated with most of them serving interests of certain individuals.The performance of the team is symptomatic of the rot in the bench that is why we have swept it clean,&#8221; the highly placed said.<br \/>\n&#8220;Take the case of the Mozambique trip. Coming up with the traveling list was a hell of a job. It created divisions and there has been bad blood running through the bench ever since,&#8221; he said while justifying the sackings.<br \/>\nEven before coach Zico left, there were rumours of infighting. Apparently Zico did not have a free hand in team selection. Awono simply inherited a team with problems.The performance of the playing unit has appeared listless at times with Awono seemingly unable to inspire the playing unit to play hard. The same scenario played itself out when Zico was in charge towards the end of last year.<br \/>\nNow that there has been a clean sweep, fans hope that the players can start afresh and play inspired football. The hiring of Ogolla is probably to instill fighting spirit, fire and passion in the players. Fans also hope that the club will in the future deal with disquiet proactively before it poisons the team and costs the team important games. And none have been more important than the fiasco in Maputo.<br \/>\nIn the meantime, Vice Chairman Faiz Magak has announced that the club is in talks with Deam Mawiinde who was the assistant coach of the Zambia team that recently won the Africa Nations cup.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/infighting-led-to-the-departure-of-technical-staff\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to various reports, club officials decided to sweep the room clean showing the door to the entire technical staff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
