  1. Rernad and Patrice are opportunists, Zambia National team can’t be coached by people who can’t define our final destination. The two have been under fire following poor performance of Ivory coast. Let them stay away from Chipolopolo. Ni ba muselela kwakaba

    • Well said we don’t want these characters we want a proper European coach. They now want to come back because they risk being fired.

  2. Uncle Bobs very interesting line up for the national team that you put up in the other thread. Question is can Janza be bold enough to field those players? Am with you on that one and we hope he does a paradim shift that will be the correct path.

  3. He will come as a zambian citizen and not as a coach. Don’t put words into his mouth, he knows he will never take control of the team again. The firing of Janza is taking too long on the other hand.

  4. Should afcon 2015 goes on, Renard and Patrice are the right coaches to guid Zambia to the tornament.
    Remember Renard belt a strong team that reached 2010 afcon quater finals for the first time in 14 years time. Renard then left Zambia briefly but came back to accomplish what he belt in 2012 Gabon afcon.
    The same can happen in 2015 as HR & PB are set to win another trophy for Zambia since they know our players very well. Its just the matter of polishing up the team that won Cosafa.

    • Ba Mumbi did you watch Zambia vs Ivory Cost game at Heroes Stadium. We booood these guys the entire stadium bood these guys, if not Kalu these guys should not even say we miss Zambia. Bazamfoot you are to blame on this one why copy and paste as if you where not part of those soccer fans that where booing at Rena and Bemuda. The media is felling us.

  5. Then introduce younger ones like Lubambo, Sate Sate, Kangwa with some few veterans from 2012 wining side like Kalaba, Sunzu, CK11, Chisamba and other younger players from that squad.

  6. kekekeke, so it did not work out in Ivory Coast and now you want to come back? I was beginning to like this young coach after the Japan game because of the attacking gaming plan, but he screwed up, so no thanks sir we don’t need you, we need Keshi period.

    • I totally agree with you, HR and PB are only fit for either Nakambala Leopards, or Livingstone Pirates.
      I am sure they can manage to bring them to the Premier League.
      We don’t need aba bamuselela kwakaba anymore.
      In Bemba we say: Ichabu chakale chilabunsha: an old and aged ferry will capsize and drown you.

      Out of the whole ENTIRE world you only want to keep coming back to Zambia, why??????
      We gave you our whole and you showed serious ingratitude.
      We are tired of you.

  7. For me Patrice is far better than Renard. He is very attack minded and i believe had he been around, we would have already qualified by now. look at how he played it against Brazil, 0-0 half time. Brazil had to do multiple subs to find the way through. You can imagin, in that game we didnt have Kalaba, Sunzu, Nathan, Nkhausu, etc. If it wasnt for Nsabata, we would have white washed Japan. Patrice has an unfinished business with the Chipolopolo. I had thought he betrayed us by ditching Chipolopolo but what would you do if you go 6 months without pay? How well can you work without a contract? The way FAZ has treated the women national team will tell you how they are not good pay masters. Let Patrice come back.

  8. What we want is a proper european coach like former bayer muinch coach Otmar Hitzfiled or Henk Ten cate the former barcelona assistant and Ajax main coach. We want to be associated with big names not these clowns who come to coach Zambia. Renard will be fired by ivory coast he is playing with fire. Patrice is now panicing after being hammered by Congo Dr in Abijan.

    • The question is! Can FAZ afford to pay these high profile coaches you are dreaming about? Even some European teams can’t afford to pay these coaches. Learn to live within your means and not live in a dream world!

      • Henk Ten Cate wanted to coach Zambia. Anita im not mentioning names out of the blue. We paid useless renard 100,000 dollars a month for pathetic results and you’re here cheating yourself that we cant afford a proper coach. Advertise the zambian job today wait and see how many big guys in europe will rush for the former african champions. Here is proof of what im saying.

  9. If at all they came back to coach the national team, then PB should be the main man and HR be the assistant coach

  10. Klaus topmoller also wanted to coach Zambia this is a guy who took an average bayer leverkusen to the final of the champions league. Plenty big boys can coach zambia. You can pay 100 grand in us dollars a month to useless people like renard then definitely we can pay a good coach to work for even less than that.

  11. People hold your fire. Kalu is the problem here. Give Hr and Patrice a break they are just taking what’s given to them.

  12. The only coach that I think should have a chance of coming back is Paulsen. The man was fired after Zambia finished 3rd in AFCON 96. Then it was all downhill from there, until 2010 Zambia was getting knocked out first Rd or failing to qualify. He also introduced the monthly camping for national team prospects. These guys Patrice and HR have had their time. They were afforded more opportunities than any other coach in Zed and despite their great success, it is time to move on. Even Bonetti, in my opinion was not given a fair opportunity. But anyway, let me drink my tea.

  13. It will be illogical to bring back theses guys. Honestly how do you say that you will definayely come back as if you own Zambia?

  14. The issue with National Team coaching is that you get what is produced by the mill. The grape vine is the league. So Government should have a strategy of sending all Premier league coaches to either Germany or Brazil and swopping them. So that each coach goes to both countries in the long run.
    Football coaching has now become a serious management issue which most of our own cannot achieve.
    With the money Renard was getting US $100,000, or US $1, 200,000 per year, a lot of good coaches can come. For the money and for their CV.
    Lets assume GRZ employed me as football Coach and starts paying me US$ 15,000 per month. I would read the ZAMFOOT blog for my line up. It is usually proposed freely. We would win all home games and draw one or two games away, qualify to AFCON whatever year, then continue reading ZAMFOOT and using the teams that are proposed freely. Either lose in the preliminaries or with luck go up to the knock out stages, where anything can happen.
    People would then say that boy from Kasama is a good coach, yet I was just using you the bloggers to guide me.
    These guys read this blog seriously.

  15. PB for me is going places. He needs to just study the African game and he will be fine, one of the top guys in the near future. HR has done his time with us and no coming back. The coaching terrain is rough and he needs to up his game.

  16. I can see what Kalu saw in PB, i think he has more promise than HR, so if one comes back it should be PB and not HR.

    But the thing is, i can tell that PB wanted to stay in Zambia, so why didnt he? There were more options than quiting and joining HR like that, PB is not the first or last coach to wait for his pay for 6 months. He had more options but he chose to join another team.

    Many of the experienced european coaches in Africa would kill to coach Zambia, and i think they would have handled it differently. Ask Claude LeRoy or Otto Pfister.
