New Chipolopolo coach Sven Vandenbroeck has been given a not so onerous target of qualifying the Chipolopolo to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Minister of information Moses Mawere has said that Sven will be given a performance based contract that will require him to qualify the team to the Cameroon finals.
“One of the concerns we raised when we received their request for us to consider a new coach was for FAZ to assure us that the new coach would qualify the senior Chipolopolo to the Camer0on 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals,”said in an interview with ZNBC.
“We also guided them that the contract should be in line with qualifying the team to the Africa Cup; so depending on how the coach and technical bench perform, that will give us another opportunity to review his contract.
“What we expect is first of all to qualify the team and also build a strong team that wont just qualify but also go and compete in Cameroon and possibly give us the required results,” Mawere said.
Since 1990, Zambia has only failed to qualify to the Africa Cup of Nations two times on the 15 occasions it has been held.
The former Cameroon assistant coach is expected to be unveiled before the end of the week to replace Wedson Nyirenda who resigned his position as Zambia national team coach.
Zambia who are bottom of Group K play away against Namibia in September before hosting Guinea Bissau.
We need to see Kalaba,Sinkala,Kabaso ,Sunzu,Mweene back in the Chipolopolo senior team
We want to see Kalaba,Sinkala,Kabaso ,Sunzu,Mweene back in the Chipolopolo senior team
Kalaba ubwanga bwalichilama imiswema tashibomba ngachuluka ocean
We want to see Kalaba,Sinkala,Kabaso ,Sunzu,Mweene & Chisamba back in the Chipolopolo senior team
Kalaba cant be a starter now….
please,no more unimaginable number of local players in the senior Chipolopolo team
Lets not dictate players to the coach. Lets give the new coach an opportunity to assess and see which are the best players to fit in his (the coaches) system of play.
Now that the coach issues are done and dusted, FAZ should not take their merry time in sorting out the rest of the technical bench.
Y do u lieave in the past, we ve Betta players now. From those we just need sinkala, kabaso but his days are numbered watch out for Solomon sakala nd sunzu, the rest Kaya. The coutch should now test lubambo Musonda of which he is beta than fashon sakala, again he should try mbola he is still a gud player. Evans kangwa
now we need lubambo musonda,Evans kangwa,kabaso etc
I hope sven is a quick learner who can quickly learn the job of a head national team coach since he has no experience
Zambians must learn to move on. Kalaba is not the player he was 4 to 5 seasons ago.He cannot be considered as a starter for the national team.We have a new crop of players that are energetic,on form and angry for success.Let Kalaba concentrate on club football.
The gud news is this coach has won afcon as an assistant coach with cameroun,he has played against zambia twice in the same capacity,he went to Russia confederations cup with cameroun and the local league z better than the camerounian..these are positives that can benefit him and the chipolopolo team..
Yes bringing kalaba,mweene,sinkala,sunzu and others
Yes bringing kalaba,mweene,sinkala,sunzu and others
