The Zambia coach told ZNBC that he will ensure he carries out the mandate he was hired for to rebuild Zambia beyond the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and well into the 2020 Tokyo Olympic qualifiers.
“No man can impose a player on me, then I will walk away, that’s how I work,” Nyirenda said on ZNBC Sunday Interview.
“Whoever wants to impose players, let him also lay out his philosophy.”
Nyirenda is four games into his long-term contract with FAZ and is unbeaten in his last two matches with a 1-0 away win over Uganda in a friendly and a 1-1 draw on the road against Cameroon in a 2018 World Cup Group B qualifier.
This is after a shaky start that began with a 2-1 home loss to Nigeria in a 2018 Group B Qualifier and a 1-0 friendly defeat away against Zimbabwe.
Zambia’s next assignment is a yet to be confirmed friendly in March and later the 2019 Africa Cup and 2018 CHAN qualifiers in June and July respectively before hosting Algeria on August 28 in the two sides third Group B qualifying match.
Well said Ba Coach, we have a lot of confidence in you and we know you can deliver. I believe no one is going to impose a player on you as long as we are seeing that you are doing the right thing. But no person is a know it all by himself and at times its good to get advice from other professionals. Even the head of state is surrounded by advisers who ensure that he does the right thing. For example it baffles some one’s mind to have Fwayo on the bench and that Kola boy from Israel given priority, i am not saying he is a bad player. I don not understand because that boy is not equal to Lubambo Musonda or even Emmanuel Mayuka. We want to see the best and i mean the best assembled when we have a big and serious assignment. Wishing you all the best.
