Brighton and Hove Albion have on 30th December announced that Enock Mwepu will take up the role of under-9s coach in their academy, in the New Year.
The Zambian international, Enock had the nickname 'The Computer' throughout his career, based on his ability to read the game.
However, after playing for 27 times for Brighton and Hove Albion following his arrival from Red Bull Salzburg in 2021, had to retire in October aged just 24 due to a hereditary heart condition.
Speaking to Brighton official website head coach Roberto De Zerbi said, “We’re really happy that Enock has decided to remain here at our club and use his experience to help develop our young players.
“Considering his age, Enock has a wealth of experience. He has played in the Champions League and Premier League as well as captaining his country. This is the next chapter for Enock in his footballing career.” He added.
Throughout his career Enock made 81 league appearances over four years at Salzburg, scoring 11 goals and laying on nine assists, while also playing in every one of their Champions League group stage games during the 2020/21 season.
Enock was also on the scoresheet in the 2021 OFB-Cup Final, grabbing a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win over Lask. He was a regular for the Zambia national team after making his debut in September 2017.
He signed for Albion in 2021, going on to make 27 appearances and scoring three goals before retiring in October 2022.
