Coaching career

He was announced as head coach of 2012-13 Swazi Premier League winners Mbabane Swallows in January 2014,[2] Tembo's first match in charge would be a 2014 CAF Champions League qualifier facing Zambian team Nkana, whose coach 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 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 in 2017,[10] the Zambian former footballer's first fixture in charge was a domestic league game opposing Moneni Pirates.[11]
