Mufulira football administrator Damiano Mutale has opposed FAZ’s plan to include Kalusha Bwalya on the panel to recruit the new Chipolopolo coach.
Kalusha himself is yet to publicly comment on the matter.
FAZ is working with Minister of Sports Emmanuel Mulenga to persuade Kalusha on this issue.
But Mutale, an ally of Kalusha, said the soccer icon should not be involved in the process of recruiting next Zambia coach.
“Let them leave Kalusha alone. Where were they all this time? Now that it’s too late that’s when they want to call on Kalusha. They want Kalusha Bwalya to be part of their failure as FAZ,” Mutale said.
Mutale’s stance on this matter may not be far from that of Kalusha.
Green Eagles coach Aggrey Chiyangi is currently drilling Chipolopolo in an interim capacity.
“And why is FAZ in a hurry to recruit a coach? They should stop that process until the FAZ elections coming in two months time,” he said.
FAZ is going for an elective annual general meeting next March.
Kwena mwe! “it’s just Kamanga’s election ploy to appeal to Pro Kalu fans. This Kamanga has been the biggest failure in Zambian football. Show me one FAZ chief who failed to qualify for Afcon two times?
When Kalu lost elections to Kamanga on 19 March 2019, on 20 March Andrew Ndanga Kamanga caused Kalu’s office at Football House to be locked up and guarded by Police. Later he accused Kalu of failure to handover! Kamanga just removed Kalu from CAF by denying him a nomination, isn’t this hypocrisy of the highest order? Please King Kalu don’t accept the invitation
Kalu should not be part of their failure ..Let them fail in their own
Great Galu is nothing but a stinking thief! These Kasai Mobutuist heroes of theirs, forsake!
You xenophobe! Get out of our country. Why do you deride kasais? Are congolese not people?
The reasoning of some people baffles me and is so primitive and fit only for the animal world. This is the type of people who want to take politics in football. There is nothing wrong with Kalusha being invited to sit on the panel of those who are going to pick the next Zambian coach. This is being done out of principle considering his experience and the fact that he is Zambia and well able to contribute to the good of his country in the area of football. It does not imply that those involved have failed and can not do it. Besides Kalusha is not a prophet who is going to pick the anointed one but is being invited to avoid finger pointing from people who do not see any good in others but themselves. We can only succeed if we work together and lay our differences aside and work for the…
So he is being picked o “to avoid finger pointing from people who do not see any good in others but themselves.”
All the more reason why he should not heed this call. Because he is not being picked for what he can contribute
What principle are you talking about? Andrew Kamanga has always fought Kalu, he’s still fighting him! Shut up for you don’t know what you talk about. Andrew nominated himself to CAF and lost, Kalu has always gone through unopposed. Andrew has only 3 months to go so let him finish his term, if he bounces back then come back we talk
Kalu should be voted the next FAZ president period.
