England based Irfan Kawri is set to return to the Chipolopolo bench for this month’s back to back 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo.

Irfan, who had a three weeks stint with the CHAN Squad prior to the tournament in Rwanda cut short due to a personal matter and had to return to England is expected to be George Lwandamina’s assistant as Zambia play Congo Brazaville twice in 5 days.

“Though it’s not yet official, we believe FAZ will announce in the coming days that Irfan is coming back,” a  ZamFoot Crew source said.

Irfan will join Kampamba Chintu on the technical bench as one of the two assistant coaches.

In his spell before the CHAN tournament, watching from the terraces, Irfan drilled the Chipolopolo Boys in the first few days but Lwandamina took over the show later on.

Zambia will host Congo on the 23rd March at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium at 18:00 hours before another battle in Brazaville five days later in Brazaville.

    • The guy playing in second division in Thailand? While guys like Kangwa with 10 goals in Israel haven’t been recalled, nah bruh.

      Zambia right now is also not lacking strikers. Its the midfield and the fullbacks that are the problem.

  2. Gentlemen nangu tapasosa we need that musonda jr watched the lad over the weekend imagine how the midfield can with kalaba pliz FAZ and all the stakeholders lure that boy back home…

  3. FAZ need to just engage a coach and call it a day. This round robin of assistants is just putting a bandaide on an open wound. First it was Labohm, then there was the Mexican guy, and now this guy. What is the desired endgame kanshi?

  4. NKRUMAH DONT HAVE A CLUE -POSITIVELY, I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO BE WORSE

  5. I thought ZESCO gave Lwandamina and ultimatum to choose between ZESCO and the National team. What become of that ultimatum?

  6. Those Ultimetums Zesco are issuing are nothing as both zega and chipolopolo belong to BOMA moreover chicken is not the first local coach with such arrangemet.

  7. Yes george is not da first one, to be attached to chipolopolo while coaching a club. The problem we know it the is no mone to pay a coach.
