Highlanders set to rebuild
Highlanders had a decent performance in the recently concluded Premier League season, finishing in the fifth position after leading the table for a significant part of the campaign.
With Kaindu at the helm, the team will look to rebuild and mount a strong challenge for the title in the upcoming season scheduled to kick off in March.
Kelvin Kaindu, a former striker, found himself without a club since parting ways with Zambian side Zanaco in April.
In addition to Highlanders and Zanaco, Kaindu has coached several clubs in Zambia, including Nkana, Power Dynamos, and Buildcon.
His coaching experience also extends to Zimbabwe, where he has worked with Triangle and How Mine.
The appointment of Kaindu brings anticipation and excitement among Highlanders supporters, who hope for a successful chapter under his leadership in the upcoming season.
