Confirmed: Micho gets Chipolopolo job

The Football Association of Zambia has appointed Serbian Coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic as head coach of the Zambian National Team.

Micho will jet into Zambia next week to sign a two year deal.

FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala confirmed the appointment to the media this afternoon.

FAZ has since informed the Ministry of Sports over the development.

The former Uganda trainer who took the Cranes to the first Africa Cup finals in 38 years beat off competition from former Mozambique coach and Portugal International Abel Xavier and Ivan Jacky Minnaert of Belgium.

Micho is coming with an assistant coach, goalkeeper trainer and will be joined from time to time by a physical trainer and a video analyst.

  1. Answer – The former Uganda trainer who took the Cranes to the first Africa Cup finals.

  2. Great appointment. We will now wait for results. It was great to witness the boys lift the cup in 2012. I hope this will happen again. I was in attendance then. Great experience

  3. These are the level of coaches we
    can get looking at the budget.We
    cannot afford klopp or morinuo. So
    lets leave it to players to show the
    coach that chipolopolo is power house.

  4. Comment:When the new coach comes, he should call all the players we have here in Zambia for training so that he can choose the players of his choice we to qualify to go to the Africa cup of Nation , it’s a good move football House I love soccer

  5. Comment:let’s not underestimate him but give him support as the nation cause I personally believe that he will do it.

  6. “Micho is coming with an assistant coach, goalkeeper trainer and will be joined from time to time by a physical trainer and a video analyst.”

    50 years after independence, FAZ don’t even have a video analyst. ..too much greed no wonder FAZ can not pay the Head coaches salary when football is the number one sport I mean where do you take the monies from all that merchandise. Everything is spoonfed and someone is there naming streets after corrupt Great Galu.

  7. Don’t insult our Great Kalu, please. He is our legend. He has done our country proud. We all make mistakes. It is not the last time you hear about Great Kalu. He will still bounce back. This time, even stronger

  8. This Coach ran away from Orlando Pirates amid a sex scandal to join Zamalek, where he was then fired after a few months. Zamalek was his last job

  9. Tarino orange what are u talking about. U have said a mentioned ot things but u have not said anything. Do u mean FAZ got independence 50yrs ago yet they cant get a video analyst? What is the relationship btn independence 50yrs ago and FAZ?

  10. Comment:a big hand for the selection of the new coach, and we’re hoping the best now out of chipolopolo.
