The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has officially confirmed the appointment of Belgian Sven Vandenbroek as new Zambia national team coach.

Vandenbroek, who was assistant coach for Cameroon when they won the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) last year, has been tasked with making sure Zambia qualifies for next year’s continental showpiece and the World Cup in 2022.

Faz acting general secretary Adrian Kashala said:

"Sven was the top choice of those that were considered. [His] record and experience in Africa is very good. He is an Afcon winner with Cameroon, ambitious, young, well qualified, eager for the huge and exciting challenge that the Chipolopolo job provides."

Zambia won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012 but failed to qualify for last year’s tournament.
