So Wada apapene napwisha his training in Spain or Europe. Hehehehehe kaya ku Rwanda ngatwakasebane na ba Wada wenu. Mwebo e leave him let.
They send a coach for training after he has got the job and mess up ..instead of sending him for training first then give him the job. We need to let our coaches attain badges from the time the start coaching and work their way up…its liken to an untrained General being sent into battle!!
Quicksilver did very well with the U20 last AFCON. Why change? Let Wada prove his worth if any at COSAFA.
..or is it a diplomatic way of giving the senior job to Quicksilver especially if he succeeds at COSAFA following Wada’s failures?
m 100% fan of Zambian supper league, Ave come know some of these players,I watch them.I feel no need to sarcastic toward the coach,but give him a benefit of Doubt.CHAMBESHI has never disappointed Zambians when given the opportunity to pic a team and compete at a tournament. He was given the opportunity to form a formidable u20, which he did well.He won the COSAFA u20,AFRICA u20 and finalist World cup U20.To me those are good credentials of a good.He also helped lumwana,radians to be on a good position On the log, not only that, He helped Nkana to come out 3rd position in the league. Ave closely followed his performance in coaching.I know we all have different taste,and that is understood, But let’s wait for the COSAFA tournament to start.Our use of words is important, let’s avoid sarcasm…
Quick Silver is employed by Kalampa, now FAZ has taken him away when Kalampa has started performing well. This will disturb the team. Wada is a FAZ employee, why give him a less daunting task at junior level, isn’t that a demotion? FAZ must stop this habit of dumping coaches like faeces when times are hard. I wish to remind Chambeshi how Chiyangi was fired at Nkana and how FAZ has dumped him
Youremember Banda, some names! I don’t remember Banda could be another name somewhere
We need one more Banda in the midfield. I cant remember his name.
Is it quciksliver or quicksilver
There ends our defense of the Africa championship. Wada!
