Julinho Athletic FC Banks on New Leadership as Team Slips Down the Table


Mateu Kanyanso

Julinho Athletic FC now sitting outside the top ten in the national log standings, the club has made a bold managerial shift, welcoming the highly respected Mateu Kanyanso as their new Team Manager.

This change comes at a turbulent time for the Kavango East side, which has seen its form dip in recent matches, raising concerns among supporters and stakeholders alike. Once considered a team on the rise, Julinho’s campaign has faltered midway through the season, prompting urgent calls for leadership capable of restoring direction and discipline.

Mr. Kanyanso, a seasoned football figure with deep roots in Namibian sport, now steps into the spotlight with the weight of expectation on his shoulders. Known not only for his tactical knowledge but also for his ability to build team culture and resilience, he brings with him nearly two decades of experience from various roles across the country’s football landscape.

Mateu Kanyanso

From his early work developing young talent in local leagues to leading teams to national recognition, Kanyanso’s reputation is built on hard-earned respect. His leadership has been described as calm yet commanding a blend that many believe Julinho desperately needs right now.

His arrival has already stirred a sense of hope within the Kavango East football community. For years, Kanyanso has been more than just a coach; he’s been a mentor, a scout, and a tireless ambassador for regional sports. He has worked with some of the brightest youth prospects and held pivotal roles in regional competitions all while steadily building a track record of turning struggling teams into competitive units.

Kanyanso’s task is now twofold: stabilize performance and rebuild belief.

Club management has expressed full confidence in the appointment, calling it a “step forward into a new era.” Supporters, too, are watching closely eager to see if the man many call “The Football General” can bring order and purpose back to the club’s dressing room.

As Julinho prepares for its upcoming fixtures, the question remains whether this fresh leadership will spark a turnaround. One thing is clear: the club has chosen experience, heart, and vision in a moment when all three are needed most.
