The Football Association of Zambia, FAZ have identified Swiss born coach Nora Hauptle as a prime target to take over the reigns of the Copper Queens.
And the FAZ are set to sack long serving coach Bruce Mwape.
The Zambia FA held an ExCo meeting yesterday and have made Nora Hauptle their prime target. The Copper Queens head coach Bruce Mwape is expected to be sacked.
It appears that Häuptle has declined an offer from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) due to salary disagreements and frustration with the lack of support for the team’s preparation.
Häuptle was reportedly offered a $6,000 monthly salary and a $5,000 bonus, but she declined, seeking $12,000 instead.
The GFA’s inability to secure $40,000 for friendly matches against Tunisia and Senegal also contributed to her exit.
Under Häuptle’s leadership, the Black Queens showed significant improvement, including a strong performance in the Women’s Olympic qualifiers, where they narrowly lost to Zambia, Häuptle’s soon-to-be new employer.
I hope it can never be true because there is no way FAZ can fault Bruce Mwape our only shortcoming has been our failure to prepare adequately after we qualify for major tournaments and FAZ failure to improve our women’s league. You can not tell me that a coach who qualifies Zambia which is average inspite of having standout individual players to all high calibre tournaments like World cup, olympics, wafcon and our llocal Cosafa is a bad coach. What have they done to improve his credantials? That’s why you need people who played football to lead FAs. Unless they tell us that it was for non footballing reasons or disciplinary reasons then yes we can agree.
If all we do is participate after showing us that the team has potential, then there is a problem and change is inevitable.
》AWCON ( Semis & lost yo average S.A)
》OLYMPICS (Group stage participation)
》WORLD CUP (Group stage participation)
This was surely enough chance for the coach to prove himself but he showed us that his ability is average & that he was highly reliant on INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE.
Our ladies need proper assistance from the coaches to compliment their talent.
Good morning ba faz am anaist with that dission of sparking brues mwape why brues mwape is our nation aseg and the money is getting is for zambia we don’t want that please please ba faz lekenifyoomulekeni umufyashi
Umufyashi ali esha. Ukubomba ali bomba nomba inshita has come for him to tusha.
Kuma Olympics na World Cup umufyashi ali esha bola yakwe yali pela. Taba ka cile palya ba Bruce chalipwa naba bomba.
We need fresh ideas for the benefit of our ladies development.
This marks the end of the mighty copper queens
Hope faz will not live to regret this ..how do you sack a performing coach??? You even opt to pay a foreigner USD 7000 per month
I hope not and i think It is absolutely worth it.
WE NEED PROGRESS! Qualifying and participation at tournaments is not enough. We need a coach who will help us qualify and compete.
The performances at the World Cup and Olympics have shed enough light for the blind to see.
Ba Mwape is Zambian yes! & he has proved to be the best we got But his technical ability is not there yet. He has limited ability.
A good step
fr copper queens
Finally someone who will not settle for mediocre performances. Our team has more potential. It has two of the worlds best players and many other determined players that a good tactician can deploy to good effect.
The Ghanian coach would be a match made in football heaven. She’s an admirer of our players & she’s definately a good for a talented but massively under performing team.
This is a big problem when is my country going to open it’s eyes.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS💫. Thanks ba FAZ😇.
Surely ba Mwape has done the best he could for 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 🇿🇲 and we appreciate. We need fresh ideas and tactics. Finally there is reason and we shall see some exciting football in the next AWCON. 2025 looks 🎉✨🎊
She admires the team and was able to point out the faults in Bruce’s tactics. CLEARLY she’s technically superior and a perfect fit for our national team.
With the U20, U17 and the good league she will be spoilt of choice. We got tusaka of talent in Zambia.
This is exciting news. FAZ, make it count! We need the copper queens to test new leadership.
Kudos to Faz , that’s the only way to go
