FOOTBALL Association of Zambia (FAZ) general secretary Reuben Kamanga says they have made headway in resolving the misunderstanding between national team coach Avram Grant and forward Fashion Sakala.
Saudi Arabia-based Sakala had a fallout with Grant after the 2023 Ivory Coast Africa Cup of Nations and has not featured for the Chipolopolo since then.
Grant has insisted the door is open to Sakala if he apologies publicly.
“He (Sakala) is a Zambian and perfectly qualified to play for the Zambia national team and is in amazing form. We have sat with the player ourselves several times. We have sat with the coach and it is the meeting of minds between the player and the coach,” Kamanga said yesterday when he featured on Radio Phoenix’s Let the people talk programme.
Kamanga said FAZ is continuously engaging Sakala and Grant and is upbeat about reaching consensus.
