Chipolopolo coach George Lwandamina picked his two recently appointed assistants Aggrey Chiyagi and Elijah Chikwanda the ZamFoot Crew understands.
The Football Association of Zambia on Friday announced the appointment of the two coaches who are currently managing super division teams Nkana FC and Nkwazi respectively.
While some fans had hoped for more experienced Patrick Phiri who has turned around less fancied clubs like Nakambala Leopards and Forest Rangers in the recent past, a FAZ insider told the ZamFoot Crew that ‘Chicken’ made the decision as to who should be his assistants with the executive committee only ratifying his decision.
The Chipolopolo technical bench was depleted after the death of Fighton Simukonda and departure of Irfan Kawri leaving only Chintu Kampamba to assist Lwandamina.
The Chiyangi and Chikwanda will be on the Chipolopolo bench when Zambia take on Togo in an international friendly in Lome this week.

Working with yes men never grows anybody. You need people that can challenge you for you to be on top of your game.

Am very normal this iz not a pre school. Chipolopolo its a big team which deserves so much respect.. I have never heard of this nonsense . The selection of coaches waz done in a public toilet .. These two coaches are chicken’s pupet they not contribute anything. Nonsense..
Baba!! World over every coach picks his assistants!!!
Am suprised too.
@Zim bullet u really have shocked me,this is actually best practice, and like Taliban has put its done world over.what do you mean corruption enlighten me???
You do not expect Chicken to pick Patrick Phiri – his peer as assistant coach. Its not workable. Big steve, in these jobs, you need yes men as assistants, those that will follow your vision and implement your plans strategies etc. If they want to be coaches, decision makers in their own right, they have to seel employment as coaches, otherwise it is your backside on the line hence the assistants tow the line ! he can advise politely but not alefulwa nokufulwa if I don’t take this advices. I say good call Chicken.
Congrats please die a little for mother Zambia like Samuel Zoom’ error.
