Zambia will begin the 2015 Africa Cup qualifiers with a home Group F match against Mozambique on September 6.
Mozambique joined Zambia, Cape Verde and Niger in Group F after beating Tanzania 4-3 on aggregate in the preliminary round.
The Mambas had forced a 2-2 away draw in Tanzania before beating the Taifa Stars 2-1 in the return leg on Sunday.
Meanwhile, two best teams from Group F will qualify for the 2015 Afcon to be hosted in Morocco.
Looks easy on paper this group for Zambia, but you never know in football, anything can happen! Mozambique – so much is known about them, as Zambia has played them almost every other year, in COSAFA, AFCON qualifiers and at the finals themselves; and Zambia has always prevailed. Even the other two teams; Zambia has prevailed over them, the few times of meetings. But without even a coach, with just over a month to kick off; you never know – could work in Zambia’s favour, or otherwise!
One month from now and the coach just left. Employ a local ohe you can manage tompay. Though zambians dont work when supervised by a fellow black unless there is a different skin.
Kwati bufi… Zambians need to learn to set very high personal goals
Honour Janza is a suitable replacement in the interim but I have a bit of reservations on Chintu’s appointment. He is actually not yet there and I don’t know why FAZ is rashing him into thick of things when he actually failed to deliver after being left as headcoach of Kabwe worriers. why can’t we bring in another seasoned Coach from the local league. Aggrey Chiyangi for instance?, he is experienced and doing pretty well with the bankers.
what do others say?
Zambia needs an aggressive “military style” tactician like Van Gaal to ensure maximum commitment and discipline by the players.
YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL COACH NOT LOCAL ONES. COZ YOU WILL BE IN THE USUAL LOOP OF CORRUPTION IN FEATURING PLAYERS.
Zambia has to carefully choose a professional head coach otherwise we are going to be disapointed by he output during 2015 AFCON qualifiers.
