Where is Kigan Mumba you FAZ chaps how do you leave out a good coach for mere differences?
Joe Bwalya coach? Wako niwako baba!!!!!!
Chitu Kampamba as assistant at senior level mwe bantu. What credentials has he got? He has never coached even at under ten or club level. We should have gone for experience and good track record
BP is head coach for ZED team. Wish Zambian teams sucessful moments that will bring joy to all Zambians.
Faz should state clearly their position on Bauleni? Is he appointed coach incognito? How can we have 2 assistants and whom are they assisting? Be bold tell the nation especially in the wake of Kalu saying no place 4 a local coach now. What’s Bauleniz position?
It is nice to see gallant men in the likes of F.Simukonda and King George Lwandamina still contributing to our lovely game.The inclusion of Tenant ，Joe and Chintu gives hope to the future of football in our country.I remember watching some of these players as young a boy at Shinde in the 80s great Kalu playing alongside Luandamina at Mighty and F.Simukonda at Kalapa！
Kudos to FAZ and everyone making this happen.
Meant to say KALAMPA.（Nkana Red Devils）
