Krmpotic arrives to begin Zesco United reign

Zlatko Krmpotic has arrived in Ndola to begin his two-year reign as Zesco coach.

The 58-year-old Serb arrived on February 6 and his first day in the office will be on February 7 in Ndola.

“We have three fronts; the Confederation Cup,domestic cup and the league,” Krmpotic said.

“Last year, Zesco had good results in the Champions League and I believe they can repeat that feat.

“I don’t want to say much but I want to make Zesco tick.”

The ex-Don Bosco coach and TP Mazembe assistant trainer is the first foreigner to take charge of the five-time Zambian champions.

Krmpotic won the 2015 CAF Champions League as Mazembe assistant while working under Frenchman Patrice Carteron.

He replaces George Lwandamina who resigned last November after three years at the helm to take over the coaching job at Tanzanian champions Young Africans.

The ex-Yugoslavia defender played at the 1982 FIFA World Cup and won silver with his ex-club Red Star Belgrade in the 1979 UEFA Cup.

He also coached the Serbia Under-19 team in 2008 and was youth team coach at his ex-club Red Star from 2008-2009.

  1. Yes the new chipolopolo coach must give out his new plan on how to replace tired legs like mbesuma , kalaba, mbola , mweene ETC. BUT WHY he must stay in NDOLA ? AS A NATIONAL TEAM COACH HE SHOULD STAY IN LUSAKA NDOLA IS A RURAL PLACE

  2. Anyoko you are useless, i now understand why you failed at grade seven 4 times. you don’t reason and understand basic and simple analysis. the column is talking about Zesco and not National team coach. 1+1 =2 and not 3 or 4 simple.

  3. Umwina zambia inkonko it is not always true that 1+1=2 because two drops of water does not make two.
