Green Buffaloes coach George Chikokola has died.
Club assistant coach Bilton Musonda confirmed the death of his boss to LT Sports on Friday afternoon.
Musonda said Chikokola died on Friday morning at Lusaka’s Maina Soko Military Hospital after a short illness.
“He passed on this morning at Maina Soko Hospital. This is a sad moment for us,” he said.
Chikokola re-joined Buffaloes late last year and helped the army side to survive relegation.
He had coached the Zambia women soccer team and Young Buffaloes of Swaziland.
