Kasama soccer fans confused with Janza’s dismissal

Share

The firing of Honour Janza as Chipolopolo coach by the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has been received with mixed feelings by some soccer fans in Kasama District of Northern Province. Justine Kapambwe observed that the decision made by FAZ to relieve Janza of his duties is very retrogressive to the soccer fraternity.

Kapambwe said this in an interview with ZANIS in Kasama today , He charged that the poor performance by the boys has nothing to do with the coaching staff but indiscipline among the players themselves. Ruth Bwalya also said the decision by the soccer association has been long overdue.

Bwalya expressed optimism that the new coach will take the Chipolopolo boys back to their former glory.She added that Janza has been with a team for some time but failed to prove his capability. She has since expressed optimism that the new coach will work hard and take the Zambian team to higher heights.

FAZ fired Janza as Chipolopolo coach and replaced him with George Lwandamina on Tuesday.

  1. Janza was not fired, he was changed as caretaker coach to concentrate on his main job as technical director.
    Lwandamina is not a good coach too…. the way he set up team against Ndola United was pathetic, he almost lost 3-2??

  2. Please Click the like button if you think we can’t have a FAZ president who stays outside Zambia and only interested in making money for his white woman.

  3. The headline should have read two Kasama soccer fans … and not Kasama soccer fans. Almost thought it was the whole city complaining. smh

  4. Those soccer fans lack knowledge in world soccer understanding.
    The success of a good coach depends solely on winning matches nothing else.
    Why should you keep a coach who fails to go out of the preliminaries – last AFCON. A coach who failed to defend the COSAFA cup.

    Our Patric Phiri was fired by Simba of Tanzania because his team was drawing in every game and did not loose.
    Real Madrid despite being 2nd on the table fired their coach because they failed to win a cup. Please don’t support useless coaches like Janza. A lot of people have been complaining for a long time over his performance, where were you to get confused now.
