Sven Vandenbroeck is staying calm over his future as Chipolopolo boss despite the end of the team’s 2019 AFCON battle.
Chipolopolo’s AFCON qualifying race ended with a match to spare on November 18 when they lost 1-0 away to Mozambique in Maputo.
The defeat came mid-way through Vandenbroeck’s ten-month deal that ends in March with the final Group K qualifier at home against Namibia and whose sole mandate was to book Chipolopolo’s ticket to Cameroon next June.
“I think at this moment we do not need to speak too much,” Vandenbroeck said.
“It is also difficult that we don’t have any chance to qualify so it is too soon for conclusions.
“I think we need a few days first to recover from the loss and not qualifying for AFCON and then sit altogether to make a good conclusion.”
Zambia are bottom of Group K on 4 points after losing their penultimate qualifying fixture and are now three points behind Mozambique who stay third despite the win while leaders Namibia and second placed Guinea Bissau are tied on 8 points.

“If FAZ brings in HH as coach, Zambia will NEVER lose any game,” Ha MENTAL Larry Mweetwa.
Sven it is ok man. Very few of us in Zambia cares about how football brings happiness and soul uplifting among the poor. You came during a wrong time, in PF-mess.
Look here Sven, not even Minister of Sports I came to know his name today us Moses, … Moses Muwelewele. I don’t think even Sven ever meet a PF-Minister incharge of sports.
Sven don’t worry about it bro, the country is more occupied by 2 things:
– HH arrest tomorrow.
– Mangango PF MP elections.
If there is one score line that really hurts it 1-nil.
He came when he found it had already sold the mines and had pocketed the money.
l have never seen such a big and dull1diot as this one called Sharon
PLEASE don’t say Zambians are interested in HH issue today. Only his cult members are interested. There are a lot of criminals and suspects appearing before law enforcement agencies today and Hichilima is just one of them. NOTHING SPECIAL.
Sven is wise to keep quiet. The one who should be talking is Kamanga because all of us soccer fans dont want him anywhere near any football stadium! He must never ever visit Chipolopolo until we have replaced him and we have qualified for the world cup
CAF please squeeze us in , the number of teams has been increased to 24, we’ll make sure we comprehensively beat Namibia to make 3rd spot in our group so that we make it as one the best 3rd positioned team in the group. To beat Namibia good we need the services of Brian Mwila in the team
Sven must be sacked stat. He is clueless.
You mean he is as clueless as UNDER FIVE and HaLarry Mweetwa?
WADA! WADA!
Clifford Kalaba!!!!!!!! Why not if not
ZAMBIA WASEBANA PLEASE BRING BACK THE 2012 WINNING SQUAD THE BOYS ARE STILL ACTIVE
Bring back Janza and Chicken George
Your useless Sven, your useless
This Mseven has to go with his Kampamba. They are both useless coaches. You get shocked as to why they used kalaba in the last minutes only. Kalaba is the mid-field controller as we saw whenever he was introduced in the mid-field became intact.
No way…these guys must go period.
JUST GOOOOOOOOOO……..
You dont listen. Chintu is the coach and needs to be fired. We have a useless bench. The loss to Mozambique was as a result of poor coaching. We have useless players on the field and effective ones on the bench. Get rid of Chintu firstly, Lubambo is a good player but not effective in the national team (useless). He cost us the game. I will leave the analysis of other players to you.
Where are the Victorious under 20 boys that recently won the Africa under 20 cup? I thought FAZ had a vision of blending them into the senior team (that has been limping since their 2012 Garbon victory). We could natured and developed those boys into super stars, if only we had a visionary FAZ and an experienced & passionate coach.
I think we need to start all over again; disband the entire team, get a new foreign, experienced and well-known coach and of course some heads must roll at FAZ, I’m sure we will get somewhere. Chipolopolo shall be great again! God bless Zambia!
