Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant has continued with his mission to scout for players for possible inclusion in the local camp ahead of the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho.
Having watched a couple of Zambian Super League games in Lusaka, Grant has decided to shift his attention this weekend to the Copperbelt. .
The 69 year old arrived in Ndola on Saturday and decided to watch a league game in the afternoon.
“It is because of Grant’s presence on the Copperbelt that the Zesco United versus Nkwazi which was scheduled for Saturday has been moved to Sunday,” the ZamFoot Crew source said.
“There was no way he was going to be on the Copperbelt and just watch one match. And that’s how authorities decided to move the match to Sunday.
Having missed the three previous African Cup of Nations, the Southern Africa power house is desperate to qualify for the Ivory Coast edition next year.
The 2012 African Champions are currently level on 3 points with Comoros and a point behind Ivory Coast.
Lesotho are bottom of the group with a point.
He must deliver. This is not the time to say, “I was building a team.” Its been years since we last played Afcon.
Did he come with an assistant or it will be Sichone?
I’ve a good feeling about Grant. Hopping for the best
