Vandenroek set for Chipolopolo job

Share

Belgian Sven Vandenroek is the man FAZ has settled on for the Chipolppolo job.

39-year-old Vandenroek has been handed a short-term deal and is set to be the first Belgian to also coach Chipolopolo.

He is also set for his debut as a head coach following assistant stints with Tunisian club Club Africain in 2013 and the defending AFCON champions Cameroon from 2016 to 2017.

Vandenbroek beat off competition from ex-Rwanda coach Jonathan Mckinstry, former Cape Verde boss Jose Luis Lopez and ex-Equatorial Guinea trainer Esteban Becker.

He takes over from Wedson Nyirenda who quit in May after two years at the helm to takeover at South African PSL club Baroka FC.

  1. “Vandenbroek beat off competition from ex-Rwanda coach Jonathan Mckinstry, former Cape Verde boss Jose Luis Lopez and ex-Equatorial Guinea trainer Esteban Becker”.What selection criteria did FAZ use?I just hope Kamanga and his crew did not use the unorthodox approach of using the Mystic Marcus, the prophetic pig which predicted the Brexit outcome, Donald Trump’s election and has this time chosen the four countries that will progress to the World Cup semi-finals.

  2. We need more information on him. As much as we Africans think the solutions to our problems lies with the Europeans we just should not just pick any European man we meet. Ba LT you are supposed to do a background check on him. You cannot be waiting for FAZ to give you a press release. That is where media in South Africa beat you hands down. Them they would have done their own investigations and given the results to us

  3. The coach should have been JOSE LUIS LOPEZ THE FORMER CAPE VERDE COACH FROM ANGOLA, BUT ANYWAY LETS GIVE HIM THE SUPPORT HERVE RENARD COME LIKE THUS PIG HE NEVER COACHED A TEAM BUT DID WONDERS HOPE THIS COCKROACH WILL DO THE SAME, BUT CAN WE ELABORATE WHAT IS A SHORT DEAL? WHAT ABOUT HIS PACKAGE , MUBISA CHANI BA FAZ? KALUSHA USED TO ANNOUNCE ALL CONDITIONS

  4. Comment:I just heard he is 39 years? how will he coach ziyo tembo and rainford ?? at 39 what archivments has he obtained again he has been given a short term contract and expect good results for the nation, this is just waiting money nothing we are doing its like we have failed football

  5. Anyone is better than no one right now because that is what we have had for a while. In Patson, Mwepu, Shonga, Emmanuel Banda and Chiluya, we have a generation of players who can take us to the world cup in 2022 but we risk losing that with these local coach experiments.

    39 years old could mean hunger to achieve or inexperience. I will be optimistic for now.

  6. Was this a transparent process. How come I only hear of it now? Who is this dude? Are we going for a low cost budget or what. Make public his creditials.

  7. Could it be that someone has a hand in picking this coach…from just being an assistant to a full coach? Gog have mercy on us!

  8. Wish you the best of luck in your new job sir : Am pretty sure that you will reorganize our National team (Pliz don’t forget to include the likes of chisamba lungu ,kalaba ,Nathan sinkala and other few veterans)
