We don’t give chances to players from the feeder clubs and its showing on the continental stage. Kamanga should have done something or should i say the current FAZ executive. Distributing TV funds and good corporate governance is not good enough alone. An all round approach is required. So Kamanaga if you love Zambian football engage your so called enemies or at least former footballers in your inner circle. So far result wise you are the worst where the chipolopolo is brought into the picture. Use the remainder of your mandate wisely.
Zambian clubs have NEVER learned to beat North African teams . Maybe you should ask yourselves my South Africa is making with North African sides.
The main problem with Zambian football administrators is that they don’t admit failure. Champions before they become champions they identify failure and improve on it .
