Veteran coach and ex-Zambia international Fredrick Kashimoto says the country has many qualified coaches who can manage Chipolopolo.
FAZ is currently searching for a foreign coach after revealing that it is not going to offer interim Zambia trainer Honour Janza a permanent deal.
In an interview with Lusaka Times in Mufulira, Kashimoto said local coaches have the potential to excel at the helm of the Chipolopolo technical bench.
“The issue of employing a coach is handled by FAZ but I can tell you that we have many local coaches who can handle our national team,” Kashimoto said.
The ex-Mufulira Wanderers coach and player cited George Lwandamina of Zesco United and Nchanga Rangers trainer Fighton Simukonda as some of the local coaches capable of handling the national team.
Kashimoto suggested that FAZ constitutes a panel of at least four local coaches to drill Chipolopolo.
“We can look for at least four coaches to handle the national team. Lwandamina is there, Simukonda, Beston Chambeshi even young Tennant Chilumba. These coaches can do a good job,” he said.
Kashimoto added:”Local coaches are better because they know and understand our players better than foreigners.”
In the past, more foreign coaches have coached Chipolopolo compared to local ones.
But Can they work with the very corrupt Galu and other empay suits?
Zambians are corrupt. Try them and you will hear that best players are being left out. Remember what Kalu did.
Of course any local coach will support local coaches because he is furthering his interests but the truth is that local coaches in the past 20 years have been pathetic. So lets forget about them. They cant even win a COSAFA cup
@Jay Jay, if Kalu is corrupt and others are “empay” (?empty) suits, then you an empty bamba (underwear).
