The Zambia Football Fans Association (ZAFFA) has said Chipolopolo needs a permanent coach who is not attached to a club.
Reacting to the recent appointment of Nchanga Rangers coach George Lwandamina as Chipolopolo interim coach, ZAFFA General Secretary Chawezi Katwizi said the decision made by FAZ is shocking.
Lwandamina will be assisted by Power Dynamos coach Oswald Mutapa jr.
”I think the appointment of George Lwandamina as National Team interim coach has come as a shock to many fans,” Katwizi said.
”After Avran Grant was fired and Moses Sichone was employed on an interim basis and people after Sichone’s interim tenure expected that Chipolopolo will have a permanent coach,” he said.
”Employing an interim coach again who is even attached to a club I think is not good for our football. We need a coach who will be solely dedicated to the National Team. The National Team doesn’t need divided attention. We have gotten this news with a pinch of salt,” Katwizi said.
Lwandamina previously served as Chipolopolo coach from 2015 to 2016 before paving way for Wedson Nyirenda.
”We can take away anything from coach George Lwandamina. He is a very good coach and has done a lot for Zambia football,” Katwizi said.
According to FAZ, Lwandamina’s immediate assignment will be to lead the national team at the Four-Nation Tournament scheduled for Botswana, from 23-31 March, 2026.

Chipolopolo needs Kalusha back as President of FAZ. He performed as a player and as FIFA committee member and as FAZ President. Not ubukopo ububulipo nomba. Mweemba is there because of his tribe and I assure you HH made him FAZ president. There’s no coincidence on this matter.
Wabepa! Dont tribalise the issue like others are doing now in Zed
Chipolopolo needs a break from international football. Otherwise they will get used to this Losers’ tag they have acquired. Let them rest and come back refreshed.
True. Why so many interim coaches? The one who lost afcon should have been replaced with a permanent coach. This FAZ is a Chimbwi no plan
Maybe they should also change from FAZ to ZAF kikiki
Zambia Association of Football, maybe they will have a brain.
You need a footballer to run FAZ. They know whats needed on the pitch. That’s how we won Afcon
