The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) says it is aware of the social media reports suggesting that Zambia National team coach, Aljoša Asanović is on the verge of parting ways with the Association.
On Monday, several reports emerged on social media alleging that the Croatian gaffer is leaving the Chipolopolo coaching role nine months after his appointment.
The reports further stated that Asanović left Zambia shortly after winning the 2022 Council of southern African Football Associations Cup (COSAFA).
However, FAZ secretary general Andrian Kashala has told BOLA NEWS that the association is aware of the reports making rounds on social media and an official statement will be issued soon to address the matter.
”We are going to issue a comprehensive statement [to address the matter making rounds on social media]” said Kashala.
Asanovic was appointed in January 2022 on a four-year performance-based contract and immediately took charge of the Chipolopolo boys alongside his first assistant Karol Prazenica of Slovakia, Serbian Video Analyst Stefan Ceravic, Goalkeeper coach and Physical trainer Tonci Gabric and Hrvoje Matijevic respectively, both from Croatia.
The Crot took over from current Nkana FC coach Beston Chambeshi after serving as his technical director, seven months before he was appointed head coach.
Asanovic has been in charge of the Chipolopolo boys for eight games out of which he managed to win three times and four lost three games across all competitions.
His tally of wins includes two against Senegal and Namibia at the 2022 COSAFA cup which he won to become the first expatriate coach to win the regional trophy with Zambia since the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations winning coach Herve Renard who achieved the feat in 2013.
