Supporters of the Mozambican national football team, affectionately known as the Mambas, find themselves in a limbo of uncertainty regarding the continuity of Chiquinho Conde as the team's coach. After a week in which the coach made it clear, in a press conference, that he still doesn't know if he will remain in the position, the Mozambican Football Federation (FMF) has not officially commented on the matter.
Chiquinho Conde, who is currently in Portugal caring for his pregnant daughter who has health problems, has only 44 days left on his contract with the national team. This delicate personal situation adds an extra layer of uncertainty to his future with the Mambas. The lack of clear communication from the FMF has left fans anxious and speculating about what the future holds.
Since his appointment, Chiquinho Conde has been a central figure in the development strategy of Mozambican football, bringing new ideas and a more structured approach to the team's training and preparation. Under his leadership, the Mambas have shown signs of progress, although the results have not yet been consistent. Conde's continued presence is seen by many as crucial for the stability and continued progress of the national team.
The current situation is complex. On the one hand, there is understanding and empathy for Chiquinho Conde's personal situation. On the other hand, the approaching end of his contract requires a quick decision to allow for a smooth transition, should a new coaching position be necessary.
Mambas supporters are divided between hoping Conde will stay and needing a clear definition of the team's future. The lack of official communication from the FMF only increases the frustration and anxiety among fans, who fear that the uncertainty could affect the team's preparation for future matches.
Meanwhile, the FMF remains silent, leaving the Mozambican football community in suspense. The expectation is that a decision will be announced soon, bringing clarity and allowing the national team to fully focus on its future goals.
