Msowoya also confirmed that he was on the verge of joining Creck.
“We are still discussing terms but I am happy that Creck have shown trust in me,” Msowoya said.
On the other hand, Gona, who was Bullets goalkeepers’ trainer for two years, left the People’s Team after the departure of Zimbabwean coach Kalisto Pasuwa.
Newly appointed coach Peter Mponda has reportedly opted for Flames goalkeepers’ trainer Victor Mphande after the pair worked together at Silver Strikers last season.
Meanwhile, Creck are interested in signing Mzuzu City Hammers striker Isaack Msiska.
Selemani confirmed that Msiska was one of their targets in the ongoing player transfer window.
Last season, Creck finished on position six in their maiden season.
This means they qualified for Airtel Top 8, which is expected to start in March this year.
