Peter Makembo says Chipolopolo coach Herve Renard has betrayed Zambians by flying to France to attend job interviews at Ligue 1 side Sohaux.
Renard is reported to be among eight coaches vying for the vacant Sochaux top coaching job.
His Chipolopolo contract expires in June, 2014.
Makembo said Renard was a traitor.
“As soccer fans we feel betrayed by Renard’s action, he is even saying that he wants the job in France,” the Zambia Sports Fans Association chief said.
“That is indiscipline and FAZ should discipline him,” he told Radio Icengelo.
Earlier in the week, Renard revealed he is interested in the Sochaux job.
“Yes I have been approached. It is now up to them to make a choice and decide what they want,” he told Foot Mercato.
“But as far as I am concerned, I am very interested,” Renard added.
The Frenchman’s future with Zambia is uncertain following Chipolopolo’s failure to reach the 2014 FIFA World Cup playoffs.
Let Renard Go its good for the Chipolopolo to go to the next level.
It’s not the cooking stick that cooks the nshima, but the mealie meal inside. Players are what matters and not the coach
Renard to coach a club that will be playing every week will be disastrous. That will mark the end of his career and i even doubt if he will be picked cause what i know is that renard is a joke of a coach.
FAZ let Mwale and Janza be in charge of this trip. For now, just be point blank and TELL Renard he is not traveling with you to China. Period. Then sort out the Renard issue when you come back. Renard’s heart is not with us (Zambia) any more. Oh, one more word, FAZ and ba honorable Kambwili, we are sick and tired of these confusions, indecisiveness, and mismanagement of our football.
Just engage local coaches. As for Renard SOCHEAU will have to compensate FAZ if he breaches his contract in the same FAZ had to pay that Italian coach for sacking him before the end of his contract. This is sports politics Mr Makembo. Just stop crying wolf.
Well, let him go. We have very short memory. He is the only coach who brought us the Africa Cup ever since we were born in1964. Many coaches tried, but to no avail.
The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know. Go well Renard. We will miss you
So because he won us AFCON 2012 he should be life coach? Until death do us part.
Well said @ 3,
What Betrayal, after all the bile these armchair “Football Experts” spew, before & since Renard guided us to that coveted Continental title, that had eluded us for over 1/4 of a Century?
Remember only approx 14 teams have won that trophy out of 50+ African nations which puts us among the Elite!
Many African countries wish they are in Zambia’s position. Id rather be Zambia, who won it- than Mali who’ve NEVER had a sniff, but always reach the quarter finals of Afcon.
Renard has a family to feed, & its NOT betrayal! I would do the same especially in this climate where Zedian’s with short memories continually hurl dirt in Renards direction, & bay for his dismissal. Surely in such a climate these same critics would for “Job Security” begin to cast their nets…
Lusaka Chorela, term like that ae reasons most people miss blessings. Jesus we know, uko navi the devil you know and the angel you don’t know. To educate you, the devil is also an angel, just one anayi taya by challenging ba Jesuah. So God dropped that clown out of heaven faster than lightening. Thank you Renard, He should have left Chipolopolo earlier. Now is time to act like Champions and hire a better coach.
It is time you let this ***** go why do you leave things to the last month zambia.
Even Paulsen (spell) can do better than this guy. We have not qualified to Brazil under a very possible situation.
I personally don’t need this man around. He is full of excuses.
LET HIM GO.
Imwe, they all come and go. Even politicians do so. There is time for everything.
If he is picked lets let him go and we should wish him all the best. He has done a lot for Zambia, he brought the Africa Cup for the first and we have seen great improvement in our team, we can as well pick it up from there. There is nothing wrong if he decides to get another Job, lets not forget what he has done for us.
Renard I wish you all the best though we will miss you if you get that Job.
let him go! He’s had his time in Zambia its about time he did other things!
Ethopia, Nigeria, Ghana are among teams that have qualified to the World Cup and all being tutored by Local Coaches. Let’s get a team of Local Coaches and pay them a $100,000 like we do renard.
You had your time, failed to achieve your benchmarks and now needs to go!
Theres still another round of play offs bwana.
Infact, he he wont last in France. He is to take over from a fired coach. There agreements are binding. No excuse. Let him go faster.
“The 26-year-old’s club Rennes said he will undergo surgery next week to fix a groin tear and faces two months out.
His absence is a double blow for Ghana as their other first choice centre-back, Jonathan Mensah, is also out of the 15 October and 19 November matches.
Mensah has been ruled out of action for six weeks with a thigh injury.
Ghana, who have yet to announce any replacements, host the first leg of the tie in Kumasi, with the return in Cairo a month later.
The aggregate winner qualifies for next year’s World Cup in Brazil.” Now could you please tell me how Ghana Qualified?!
go back to the land Renard..kekekee
That’s football for you,No hard feelings,players are bought,coaches move,deal with it..
Peter Makembo, dont cry foul, now is the time for you pray more than u have ever prayed before for Renard to be picked. We now need your pastoral prayers please. Let HR go.
Stupid comments from Makembo. Renard is free to choose his next job like any of us are. If he feels he will get a better deal at Sochaux or that club management meets his aspirations, let him go.
Mr makembo don’t be bitter renard had achieved a lot with chipolopolo, for the betterment of zambian soccer let renard go .bring in someone else who should be given target otherwise renard will not achieve better than this. Good luck renard .wishing you all the best
let him go please.
Come on Makembo don’t tell me you’ve never attended interviews while you’re engaged elsewhere! He also has ambitions,goals and all such things, so why scourge him for simply attending a job interview or is it in his contract that he should look for greener pastures while he’s coaching Chipolopolo for you to suggest that FAZ should discipline him? Let him do what he wants even if it means him quitting because he failed his goal of leading us to the first ever world cup and please Makembo or whatever you call yourself stop portraying Zambians as illiterate coz you can’t punish a person for attending a job interview,you should just check why he want to quit,it may be because of your talkativeness!!CHIPOLOPOLO 4 LYF!!
TIME AND CHANCE TO FIND A NEW COACH IS HERE.
WE SHOULD NOT MISS IT
On the head of the nail!
Renard is not a personal to holder
HR MUST GO AT ALL COST & WE SHOULD BRING IN SOMEONE OR BONNET BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO MADE THAT TEAM THAT WON AFRICA CUP. HR JUST GO YOU ARE A FAILURE.
what a cry baby. cant a person make his or her own career choices and how there progression should be in Life? You do not own this Muzungu and by the way, the last time I checked he was French. Stop crying as if he is the only person that brought glory to Zambia. deal with is Mr
This is why i cant understand people who utter such nonsense! Honestly speaking is this even logical enough to be a piece of public discussion? I wonder if the left part of the brain is still in function, for starters, RH is a family man who needs a job just like anyother person, secondly Zambia is not his first priority, did you think he would throw the net for Chipolopolo? He is just doing what any good business man, employee would do, we are all doing what we do for bread and butter nomatter how high or low our status is…… Before you take anyone or a situation personal, get it in your mind that nothing is for free even just your reaction as a price tag, so move on.
This makes it easy for us to extend or not to, should he fail to get that French job, am sure he knows what he’s…
Let the PE Teacher go and bring in a coach in Dario Bonneti
“Pester Makembwa” you always show a luck of wisdom when you open your mouth. We all would take up a better paying job if we have the opportunity.
There is no offence in applying for another job
Let him prepare for his exit,2014 is just months away
As there will be no major matches for 10 months after failing to make it to CAN and WC
, Zed can save monies from paying a ghost coach =D
LET HIM GO IF HE WANTS TO..
Our father in Heaven, please give Renard the job at sohaux as we don’t need him anymore here in zed. Amen!
Qualifications Physical trainer to Coach..
You dont own him. Ball is big bizness. Even you makembo you are free to go where ever you want infact we dont even need you to win games.
LET RENARD GO.. HE WANTED CHIPOLOPOLO BOYS TO MAKE IT TO 2014 WORLD CUP BUT GOD CHANGED EVERYTHING,MY GOD TO BAD COACH.
This guy should have been fired after AFCON 2013. It will be good riddance!!
Makembo is a f.ool what the hell does he think Renald is the only person who can coach our national team, actually all including Kalusha should Go, let others also show their abilities. Enough with draws and losses, we need to move Zambian football forward.
You are right. Kalusha is hopelessly incompetent.
Well maybe he shud go,bt pliz spare me dat bonneti and local coaches crap,the only gud local coach we had ws da late ben bamfuchile,the rest r pathetic
What about Patrick?
Let him go, nothing is permanent on earth. Even the Son of God died ni bwanji kansi. But ifwe ba gelo we will miss him somehow mwe. Kekekekeke.
You unappreciative Zambians, just not long ago you were all wearing white shirts beacuse of Coach Renard. Now you are insulting him??
Your local coaches are all sick and everytime you engage one, the can’t perform, all the are known for is talking.
Vive La Renard, en vie longue
Spare us time please!
Because of indecision by Zambians,he is still around but he has no new methods as such should encouraged to leave,get some one else ba FAZ
This person has done more harm than good. I wish he could leave tomorrow.
RENARD’S MIND IS NOT HERE ANYMORE……kABWILI SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT A LONG TIME AGO.
He confused Power in the champions qualifiers and the under 20 too.
You waynt me Heavy learner to take you toz world cup. when your bezt prayer does not prey in Europe. Never, never. There goes HR. I think let him go he has done his part. Thanks Coach aruvour.
Don’t allow him to come back,Hon Kambwili desist from commenting on issues you have very little knowledge on,Rena meant he was leaving yet you with that faz Richard kept embarrassing yourselves claiming he’s not going anywhere.keep quiet for now & eyes on the ball as we play.
don’t go with him 2china, let him b in charge 4 de zambia-ethiopia game
Mwebantu let the man go.he has identified greener pastures.who are you to judge him and stand in his way.Coaching is just like any other job.u keep hoping to. Better&higher branches.
The biggest problem is where we can not trust ourselves evidenced by the way we insult each other. What brought Renard to Zambia is our money. Why are we failing to send our coaches to school in German or Netherlands? That aside we have Keegan mumba and Patrick Phiri they can go to china with our team. We have a very supportive Government we can even send 4 coaches to replace Renard.
Indeed faz must let Renard go before he does what he did when he ran to Angola. Kalu, what is so special about this man .Lekeeni aye please. With him i see more disappointments.
Let the man go.This situation is likened to a house wife who threatens or even packs her luggage to go out of the matrimonial house.His loyalty is some where else.This time when he goes we should just close the chapter.Lets rebuild our team for now.Infact we should retire some old legs in the team,Katongo,Chamanga,Kampamba just some among the many.
Renard has been a shining star for Zambia. Do not mind “pastors” without a church like Peter Makembo. Who only knows how to make noise and behave like a cadre. Leave Renard alone!! Who made you football expert? Just shut up and look for a small church in Kuku compound to pastor
