The Zambia Voluntary Soccer Fans Association (ZAVOSOFA) Patron Peter Makembo has urged the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to intervene in the differences between Zambia Nation Soccer Team coach Dario Bonnetti and his under 23 counterpart Lucky Msiska.
ZANIS sports reports Makembo saying in an interview in Lusaka today that FAZ was best placed in assisting to help sort out or address the differences between Bonnetti and Msiska.
Makembo stressed that there was need to settle the Bonneti- Msiska impasse quickly before the duo’s differences get out of hand.
He added that what the soccer fans countrywide want to see was that the duo reconcile once again for the sake of development of football in Zambia.
Makembo said the Bonnetti and Msiska differences were further helping in the derailment of the soccer standards in the nation.
The duo have been at each other’s neck for some time now over the the country’s major sport’s wellbeing leading to the latter to quit as national team assistant trainer in February this year.
In another development, Makembo commended Zambian strikers Collins Mbesuma and Emmanuel Mayuka for their continued scoring prowress in their respective foreign clubs.
Makembo pointed out that the duo have continued to please their fans proud with their splendid performance in their respective clubs.
He urged Mbesuma and Mayuka not to relent in their good performance of playing well and continue scoring for their clubs.
Switzerland based Zambian Striker Emmanuel Mayuka on Saturday continued stealing the limelight for the BSC Young Boys with his impressive performance when he scored in the win over AC Bellinzona in the Swiss Super League.
And Golden Arrows Chipolopolo forward Collins Mbesuma on Friday night netted a penalty in the 3-1 defeat to ABSA Premiership leaders Ajax Cape Town.

Please just let them work together and stop making them appear as though they were fighting against each other.
Bonetti was brought by MMD and look at the confusion he is causing now? Leave our beloved Msiska alone. This Italian Mafia has failed to deliver at Senior national Team level then he wants to bring confusion to Under 23? Moreover he has been holding on to all eligible under 23 players on pretext that he needs them at Senior level. Please FAZ do something now.

Msiska indicated that he wouldn’t want to work with Bornnetti (resigned in Feb 2010)
The best that can be done is to let them not to interfear with each other’s responsibility. Msiska as under 23 coach has the capacity to handle the team without Bornnetti. What does Boennetti want in the under 23 team??? Leave Msiska alone and bare the blame if the team has poor performance to get praised for job well done when good results are produced. This Bornnetti is try to pull Msiska down by incorperating the under 23 players into the senior team as was seen in previous matches. Leave Msiska to choose his own bench men whom can work well with him NOT this mzungu Bornnetti.. Phiri will be soon released from Simba he may like to be party of the technical bench headed by great Msiska.
Blah blah blah watch Barca 2mr afternoon
bonneti c.h.i.k.ala ukaponokafye bwino
Abash Bonetti
I will give an example; ZCCM for arguments’ sake, emloyez a General Manager and an Underground Manger, how are theze two expected to operate?
empower local coach, Msiska made it clear that he cannot work with that guy. Now what else does Bonetti want in U 23? does it mean that his contract stipulate that, or he has seen the glories of U23 by Msiska. chitanfyeni chimafya
This is a straight forward issue. Give both coaches enough RESOURCES to do their job. The reason they are fighting is because there is not enough for both of them. Bonetti can hire (or fly in) under 23 players that do not play in Msiskas team if he is given enough resources. It also will give other new players a chance to feature in the national team. Please solve this issue quickly
number 3 and 9
Its not possible for the two coaches to work independently. what happens is such circumstances is that Bonnetti will stop calling under 23 players to the national team and Msiska will be relactant in the affairs of the senior team. In the past we have seen senior team coaches getting under 20 players and leaving out the under 23 because of personal differences. Zambia is one and we only have one pool for players. The game is what will suffer at the end of the day
Both these chaps are thugs, Msisika let us down at a time we needed him most
Ohhh the same old shiit. From Kalu to Msiska. Fackkk
This is just another circus, just like politics in our country. Poverty and hunger for power brings a lot of friction and fighting.

Well, that attitude if applied will harm the soccer, what I am saying is that no two coaches for one team. Bonnetti is senior team headcoach. What he has to do is watch how the under 23 players perform under headcoach Msiska. . No right to interfear as the two have different plans for their respective teams.. format may be 4-5-1 ,,, 4-4-2 …5-4-1 etc.the other coach may oppose the format hence pulling in the opposite direction. If u read about the Italian pregnant woman taken to hospital for delivery, You can understand that NO two people are given same responsibility.. Those doctors who fought each other over whether to operate or allow normal deliver indicates that power struggle is inevitable. Two bull elephants fighting = grass suffering..
bane bonnett is a foreigner Muchofe wesu,so lets allow our man do the the job as head coach of the under 23.this mafia criminal almost puched our msiska wen he was advised on the system of play,the mafia was using.i watched msiska at author davies those days,msiska was a humble young player,he cant be such a bad person to the point of exchanging punches with the mafia,awe.inkanda eyo tufwile
