FAZ to hand Patrice new deal

Share

FAZ has announced that it will extend the contract of Chipolopolo coach Patrice Beaumelle which expires next month.

Beaumelle has been working under the old contract of assistant coach since he took over the Zambia top job from his former boss Herve Renard last October .

FAZ spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe said the association will give the Frenchman either a short or long-term contract.

Beaumelle will be incharge as Zambia play the 2015 Africa Cup qualifiers.

“FAZ wishes to mention that, as much as the contract for Chipolopolo coach Patrice Beaumelle comes to an end in July, it is not looking for a new coach. Instead FAZ will consider a short to long-term contract for the Frenchman,” Tembwe said.

“There are qualifiers coming and the association will not engage in a search for a replacement for Patrice,” he added.

Chipolopolo are in Group F of the qualifying campaign for the Morocco finals with Niger, Cape Verd and the winners of the playoff involving Tanzania and Mozambique.

  1. We already won Africa Cup and this Time around we need a WORLD CUP….Itd much Possible.

      hhaahahahaha nice joke, you can say that again..but before you do, which trophy? you think this is the africa cup were a team with strikers that fire blanks stil goes on to win. hehehe. you are fun.

    • In any we’ll run organisation Contract renewals or extensions are performance based. What is Beaumelle’s based on?

    • The Jay Jay from USA is more critical on Patrice, do you also call him PE teacher?
      Patrice looks smart, just adds some cleanness to team.
      Imagine good coaches like Lwandamina or Patrick Phiri with looks of Mbesuma… ati we are going for World Cup.

  2. We now need a world class coach and not those who make CVs on us. Consider getting Queroz Carlos at least. Why do we fear to get good coaches kashi? Lyonse baletupangila pofye inshina?

  3. Faz faz faz what’s wrong with these people at Faz? Kalu’s uselessness has reached it peak and it’s time he is shown the way out. How do you bring a trainee coach to the national team? The national team requires a highly experienced coach because there are fewer games to be played, i thot we had lent a lesson from HR who after leaving our national team could not manage the week in week out pressures of some club in france and was thus fired. Now i understand why RB wanted these morons at faz out.

  4. This is the wrong coach. Just check his record with Chipolopolo. We missed a chance when Keshi was relatively unknown and he wamted to come to Zed. He had just taken Togo to the World Cup. Now he will cos two arms and two legs. By the way Renard came to South Africa for interviews for the Bafana job. He didn’t get it because Queiroz has got it.
    Ba LT why do I keep receiving this spam message???
