FAZ ExCoM wants Lwandamina to take charge of Chipolopolo

Football Association of Zambia, FAZ executive committee members are considering approaching veteran coach George ‘Chicken’ Lwandamina for a possibe return to the national team, the ZamFoot Crew understands.

Lwandamina is currently the head coach of Zambian Super League side Kabwe Warriors.

With Croatian coach Aljosa Asanovic on his way out after his stand off with FAZ, some executive committe members prefer a local coach over another expatriate coach.

“I think as an executive, we haven’t been lucky with regards to the coaches we have engaged, “a FAZ ExCom told the ZamFoot Crew.

“We are divided on whether to go with a foreign or just settle for a local coach.

Since the Andrew Kamanga led executive took over there has been a lot of managerial changes at the help of the Chipolopolo Boys.

Expatriates coaches like Sven Vanderbroeck, Micho and Asanovic have been hired but to no avail.

Lwandamina, Wedson Nyirenda, Aggrey Chiyangi and now Moses Sichone have also been in-charge of the national team.

“There are some of us who think that Lwandamina should be given the remaining four matches in the qualifers,” the insider said.

“The national team needs stability and we feel Ba Lwandamina can give us that stability.

The Chipolopolo Boys will be in action on Monday in Bamako in another friendly match.
