  1. Lubambo musonda is back in Armenia but at another club. He even scored in a preseason friendly. Sunzu is rumoured to be on his way to lille on a season long loan.

    • Good news. Thanks John bro for the info. I hope he stays at Lille after the loan especially when he impresses Lille. They might sign him on a permanent move.

    • My thoughts exactly, High school….like really!!!!! the guy is 17 should he not already be done or almost done with high school?

      • Umm !! -IT SEEMS GHANA ACADEMY WON THE ( GOTHIA )
        CUP FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR-2014-2015..ANYWAY, YOUNG SUNZU HAVE TO TAKE THIS CHANCE TO UPGRADE HIS FOOTBALLING IN THE STATES..

        GOOD LUCK YOUNG SUNZU..

  2. I personally believe Renard should consider signing Mayuka to bolster his strike force at lille. Mayuka is going to perform much better at lille than he did at relegation threatened Sochaux. Lille is a much stronger creative force and Mayuka will have more chance to go and shoot at goal just like he did at young boys. Mayuka must leave the saints ASAP as zambia currently has no striker.

    • I don’t think HR would go down that road again after Mayuka failed under him in the same league. HR is even chasing Jordan Ayew’s signature again. Mayuka had a big opportunity but he blew it and it is now haunting the rest of his career. HR needs to hit the road running at Lille as such he needs players that will arrive and immediately start performing. With Mayuka he will have to start to rebuild him into a performing player again.

  3. Love or hate him, HR will remain an important factor in Zamfoot for a long time and his name will be written in gold letters in our soccer history. Since Antebuselic, who took a team of little known players to the 1974 Afcon finals against Mighty Zaire, we’ve never had a national coach who has captivated our minds as much as him. He got us our first AFCON cup and within weeks of joining the French league had already given 2 Zm players a chance to show case what they were capable of in Europe. After CIV his commitment to Zm hasn’t waned…here is he giving a chance to our boys…Merci Monsieur Renard…to our Boys: take this chance, don’t waste it

  4. @Mukamba,thats what I want to know too..this john guy claims to have some fake sources and have fake stories….I searched the net and asked the china football account on twitter,they dnt knw anythn abt it.

  5. CHIPOLOPOLO AMONG AFRICA ZONE TOP SEEDS IN FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 DRAW

    .

The placement of Zambia as one of the continent’s top sides will see the Chipolopolo join the race for a place at the biggest sports championship on the planet at the second round phase.

    Zambia is seeking a maiden FIFA World Cup place and FAZ has recently announced that its target was to return to the Olympic Games in 2016 and be at Russia 2018. A new coach expected to work with George Lwandamina and Fighton Simukonda is expected to lead Zambia’s World Cup campaign. – Zambian Football KICKOFF

  6. It almost feels like the powers that be are not serious about hiring the new coach. With all these developments around world cup qualification you would expect the FA and government to speed up the process but it just seems like they are taking their precious time and then will hire a coach one week before the qualifiers and expect miracles. The minister of sport should hang his head very low after making the bold announcement about a coach being hired and now this. leadership in the FA is seriously lacking, leadership in the sports ministry and is also showing signs of the same…..it feels like dooms day for us in the football family.

  7. Does he know English? Because these chaps can have aspirations like his brother Sunzu but fails to settle-in places where Bemba or Nyanja is not spoken.

  8. our players now have just to depend on HR for them to be signed up in Europe not on fair ground so it tells how our lads are not even considered,sad so sad.Some are going to High Schools when they need to break in prestigous Football Academies,some are globe trotting for trials but never get signed and end up at small teams if not in the Asian leagues.

  9. Fact is zambia is poor if we can proudly say that 2,000 dollars as a salary is breaking the bank then clearly we have no money for a coach. That moron George lwandimina cost us 2 points against guinea bissau with a very useless line up. Surely even Janza is a better coach. We have no money for a coach. If we had money he would have been employed long ago.

  10. merrick is new to this site for him to question john’s source of information. john can be an irritant but no one beats him wen it comes to reliable data

  11. We dnt have good players in zambia,always relying on HR or going to small asia or europe leagues…..so sunzu will only join lille becoz of HR not because his good

  12. The talent in Zambia it is in abadance but it is poorly managed.. Those who say there is talent they are lost. You can’t win afcon without talent. Sunzu can do without renard. That man is talented he can play in any league. Guys saints they might hav realised that mayuka is talented that’s why they are keeping him.. Of all the strikers who played at afcon only a few can match mayuka interms of attacking the goal .. One of the zim he said i wonder why this man is not playing at his club.. When mayuka got injured and left the pitch the chipolopolo attack looks very ordinary .. Hate him or love him but no one can take anything from him.

  13. ABC’s interactive singing competition, Rising Star, concluded its live head-to-head singing duels Sunday night with four contestants advancing after the East Coast vote and one additional singer being saved after the West Coast broadcast. Three other acts were sent home.
