Zambia Returns Minus Renard

Time Posted: November 18, 2011 12:04 am

Herve Renard failed to return home with the team on Thursday night from Nigeria.

Zambia lost 2-0 away to Nigeria in a friendly on Monday that was played in Kaduna.

However, a senior Faz official said Renard is in South Africa checking out Zambia’s training facilities where they will be camped from December until January ahead of the 2012 Africa Cup tournament to be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea from January 21 to February 12.

“He has gone to Pretoria to check on the facilities at the High performance center Zambia we will setup camp,” the Faz official said.

Only Renard’s assistant Patrice Beaumelle was in the traveling party back to Zambia.

Meanwhile over a dozen local players and the TP Mazembe contingent of goalkeeper Kalililo Kakonje plus midfielders Stophilla Sunzu and Rainford Kalaba and striker Given Singuluma landed at KK International airport on Thursday at 20:30 on South Africa Airways from Nigeria.

    Or perhaps this schizophrenic Renard has abandoned the team again?

    This kind of reporting goes to show why it is dangerous to aim for a 50% pass. It is that part you don’t know that messes up your career! Go back to school LT journalists…

    #12 Playing well iz not big deal, but it iz how often you make the oppozing goalie pick the ball from hiz net that matter. If you talking about playing well, ask Arsene Wenger of the Gunners.

    Is Sata providing free Internet to bembas? I see in most blogs use of bemba is increasing. Also there is too much insulting in Bemba in most blogs.

    This FAZ is during same thing like sick government officials flocking to SA. How much is spent on camping in foreign countries????? Why don’t this monies spent locally??? STOP enriching other nations SA team never camped in Zambia and to make matters worse the national team ends up playing inferior clubs in SA. Shame .. shame
