The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has appointed Chris Kaunda as head coach of the Zambia Under-17 boys’ national team ahead of the upcoming COSAFA Under-17 Championship. Dennis Makinka has been named assistant coach, with Dabwitso Nkhoma serving as second assistant, Collins Mbesuma as strikers coach and Joshua Titima as goalkeeper coach.
FAZ General Secretary Charles Chakatazya said the appointments are aimed at giving the team enough time to prepare for upcoming assignments.
