Chipolopolo coach Sven Vandenbroek says the Chipolopolo exiles under his predecessor must earn their recalls on merit.

Wedson Nyirenda banished the likes of ex-Zambia captain Rainford Kalaba and his TP Mazembe club mate Nathan Sinkala during his last term as Chipolopolo coach.

But the new man said he has not come to Zambia to dismantle Nyirenda’s legacy.

“I cannot say that after three days in Zambia and I cannot judge the former coach; it is not my job,” Vandenbroek said.

“I don’t want to say I will do it but I will give them a chance to prove with games at their club’s and if they are performing, and are 100 percent motivated, they are welcome in my team.”

  2. Forget about Kalaba. Lets develop another Lusha from the current team. Include Chris Katongo on the bench

  3. All we need are results and we don’t care who you use whether Ester Phiri or Catherine as long as you get it done, and done well.
