Give us list of professionals
If you have 22 local players, which players from abroad will be cropped in ? Are these local players mature enough to feature in qualifying matches ? I think Chipolopolo will be donating points and not playing to qualify
They will be taught a football less. Tunisia does not need jokers. These coaches they failed before with locals and they continue working with them. Dangerous experiment. Micho was did the same and failed. He was told by fans to work with professionals and he turned a dear ear. Nonsense
Can the clueless coach association of Zambia explain why players trading in European leagues are hardly called
Mauritania national team is made up of players in lower leagues in Europe. Zambia have better players than Mauritania in terms of quality.
Patrick Gondwe a Nkana player/striker?! He played for which club in Zambia b4 joining Nkana.
