Chipolopolo head coach Milutin ‘Michó’ Sredojevic has been sacked by the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) following a string of poor results.

Defending Champions Zambia were knocked out of the COSAFA Cup following defeats to Lesotho and Eswatini.

FAZ announced in a statement on Saturday that, it has mutually separated with the senior Men’s National Team Head Coach Milutin ‘Michó’ Sredojevic.

Both parties agreed to mutually separate after a meeting held this morning at Football House.

“FAZ can confirm that it has reached a mutual separation agreement with its senior Men’s National Team coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic. After a meeting between FAZ and the coach, it was agreed that in the interest of progress for both parties they had to separate,” says FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala.

FAZ has thanked Micho for having steered the Chipolopolo from February 3, 2020, to date and wished him the best of luck in his next assignment.

Micho has also thanked FAZ and the people of Zambia for having supported him during his stay.

“I am grateful to the Zambian people, the players, coaches, officials and the fans who supported me in various ways during my stay. All the positive experience with Chipolopolo Zambia I will use in my career ahead and would like to wish all the best to Zambia,” Micho says.

Meanwhile FAZ will announce the succession roadmap in the next few days.
