**Chris 'Gazza' Tembo** is a [Zambian](/source/Zambia) football coach who manages [Malanti Chiefs](/source/Malanti_Chiefs_F.C.) of the [Swazi Premier League](/source/Swazi_Premier_League) as of 2017.

## Coaching career

He was announced as head coach of 2012-13 [Swazi Premier League](/source/Swazi_Premier_League) winners [Mbabane Swallows](/source/Mbabane_Swallows_F.C.) in January 2014,[2] Tembo's first match in charge would be a [2014 CAF Champions League](/source/2014_CAF_Champions_League) qualifier facing Zambian team [Nkana](/source/Nkana_F.C.), whose coach [Masauso Mwale](/source/Masauso_Mwale) accepted his appointment with equanimity.[5] Tembo then lead the Swallows to a 2–0 victory in the first leg,[6] before losing to them 5–2 in the second leg even though he expressed determination for his team to hold onto their lead.[7] Later, in April that year, despite former Swallows manager [Jani Simulambo](/source/Jani_Simulambo) advising him to be patient with the club early on,[8] the Zambian coach was fired with immediate effect by the board.[9]

Going back to Swaziland to coach [Malanti Chiefs](/source/Malanti_Chiefs_F.C.) in 2017,[10] the Zambian former footballer's first fixture in charge was a domestic league game opposing [Moneni Pirates](/source/Moneni_Pirates_F.C.).[11]
