Mabedi has confirmed to Phakaaathi on Wednesday that Malawi have offered him a post in the national team technical team as coach Ronny Van Geneugden’s assistant.
Chiefs, however, say that Mabedi has turned down the offer and is focused on his job with the Amakhosi.
“We also want to express gratitude at the consideration of one of our technical team members being called up to serve the country of Malawi,” Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung told the club’s website.
“We would like to continue cooperating and collaborating with Malawi [in] various areas. We wish the Malawian national team all the best in their upcoming matches,” added Motaung.
