The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed that Copper Queens head coach Nora Häuptle has requested a 50 percent reduction in her salary.
FAZ Head of Media and Communications Nkweto Tembwe disclosed during a media briefing in Lusaka that the request is aimed at allowing Häuptle to take up other professional engagements while still managing the national team.
Tembwe further revealed that Häuptle has also asked to step down from her role as Technical Advisor for the youth teams.
In addition, the coach has reportedly escalated the matter to FIFA, seeking compensation and future bonuses related to the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
FAZ says it is currently engaged in discussions with Häuptle in an effort to resolve the matter amicably.
Ba reporter do your job. Read between the lines and give us the disentangled story
Salary restructuring.
It’s better for her to spend most of her time in Europe, she can’t be surviving on malaria tablets.
Let her find a second job, its normal. Don’t hold her hostage.
There are people in Zambia who can do that job full-time. They need that job. Why do we have to reserve it as a second job for an expatriate?
Hauptle is not just making these demands from nowhere. Even for me, if you dont pay me, I will seek a job else where and I will ask that i support you part time if you still need my services. Anyway, we are in a country where everything including Political, Economic and the Social fabric has collapsed and only those with lower expectations/standards, are applauding the mediocrity in this country
