FAZ Plans Coaching School

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has announced that it intends to set up a full-time coaching school in Zambia to offer three to five year coaching programmes. 

FAZ president Andrew Kamanga said the Croatian Federation has offered to assist in setting up the coaching school, which will be in action soon.

“The deal signed in June 2019 in Paris, France was penned by myself on behalf of FAZ and HNS president the esteemed Davor Suker. One of immediate benefits from this deal is the area of coach education. Croatia is one of the biggest exporters of coaches across Europe and all over the globe. The Croatia Federation has offered to help Zambia set up its first ever coaching school that is expected to come on stream soon. Croatia has offered to send football experts during the off season to train coaches for our premier league,” Kamanga said.

Mr Kamanga also announced that the FAZ has been invited to participate in an under-15s tournament in Croatia. 

“Our technical directorate through our elite youth league had already commenced selection of players from our structures. It is through relationships like these that we hope to grow the game. For us, building from the base is a key component of our strategy. We continue to forge partnerships with various stakeholders and global partners to ensure that we grow our game. We ask you to lend your hand and continue supporting our beautiful game,” said Kamanga.
