Former National Team Coach Dario Bonetti will not be paid five billion kwacha compensation as being alleged in some sections of the media.
Football Association of Zambia -FAZ- Vice President Boniface Mwamelo says stories that Bonetti will be paid the five billion kwacha as compensation for the termination of the contract are mere speculations.
Mwamelo says the former Chipolopolo Coach is not entitled to any compensation, as the termination of the contract was on mutual consent.
He told ZNBC Sports that Bonetti will soon receive his letter of dismissal.
Mwamelo says the delay has only been procedural and that everything will be formalized in due course.

Do it fast. DB is a closed chapter. We are in hurry to do other important soccer business. FAZ, you better do a good search for a better coach. I want to see the Africa Cup in Zambia nxt year. Nothing less that that. So get down to some serious work “with immediate effect”!
Why are you so defensive,we have not yet heard from The Italian job.All you mugs at FAZ are a disaster,you spend most of your time womanising than carrying out you funtions.
Mr. Mwamelo, mutual consent is one thing but where money is concerned you will have to cough up
chess that bustard quic otherwise he might bring bad luck for Zambia if he remains long in the country
I hope this Mwamelo will not have to swallow hiz own wordz sooner than later. If Bonetti goez to FIFA, whether there iz a contract or not with FAZ, we stand to dance to some muzik, like we did with Bukhard Ziese. Consider this situation: You stay with a woman(“enjoying” all that goez with marriage) for yearz and then say that she iz not your wife; the courts will not spare you!
Anywhere in the world, in case Mwamelo is ignorant, when you terminate a team manager’s contract you still pay them a compensation for terminating them before end of contract. The cheapest way to let him go would have been to let him serve his term and not renew his contract. This is the problem when making decisions using the seat of your pants instead of bein calm and consult with stakeholders and legal advisors. Whether they like it or not FAZ will have to pay Bonneti – it is standard practice the world over, unless they want to risk the wrath of FIFA. I’m not against getting rid of him, I just think the decision was implemented in a daft manner and now they will have to pay for that! If Bonneti sues, they will pay PLUS costs. So they better not even argue with him on this…
What happened to Jose Mourinho “The Special One” when he left Chelsae wasn’t he paid anything?
Mr Mwamelo tell us, what were the terms of conditions of his contract, dont just give us bread and butter stories here. If he signed a contract there must be terms and conditions of terminating his contract prematurely. We know RB and son sourced for this guy, but tell us what you agreed upon him coming to Zambia as coach.
But how ‘mutual’ was this when Bonneti says he was only informed of his fate by phone ? Can we be told the truth.
Neba, good to see you and to hear from you after a long time. I miss those great days at CBU when we were nebas. VIVA neba
There is some info that Bonetti did not sign any contract with FAZ but had some agreement through state house. Can we have some clarification please as the money being paid is our TAX.
It is part of Cobby’s clean up
LET THE COACH BE A ZAMBIAN PLEASE SO THAT WE CAN PUT MORE MONEY IN HIS POCKET.
IF WHEN WE HIRE MOURINYO OR SIR ALEX WE CAN STILL LOOSE COZ OF THE MATERIAL WE HAVE ON THE PITCH. I LIKE THE GUYS BUT FOOTBALL HAS GONE DOWN IN ZED.
SEARCH FOR TALENTED CHAPS IN GHETTOS PLEASE.
PEACE AND PROSPERITY TO OUR TEAM
Mutual consent and then dismissal letter . . . . don’t go together ba Mwamelo. Legally right to say mutual consent and termination letter. And by the way this is a private affair btn FAZ and the coach …. why do you respond to what the papers are saying?? It is unprofessionalof you mudala.
NO 13 ALL THE WAY. TRAIN A ZAMBIAN COACH. DEVELOP A COACHING PLAN FOR OTHERS AND CREATE A POOL OF QUALIFIED COACHES. MWEBENA ZAMBIA MWABA SHANI AKASO TO YOUR FELLOW ZAMBIANS. LET YOUR OWN PROSPER AND BE HAPPY
#10 JUZZ – Becareful how you short-spell some words. I know that neba in your comments is short for neighbour. In some Zambian languages if you just by mistake mis-typed that ‘neba’ word and mistakenly put an ‘m’ between the ‘e’ and the ‘b’, it instantly becomes a word referring to one of the glorious parts of the male human body!!! Just a warning so that you are aware from now onwards!!
FAZ NEEDS A COMPLETE REBRANDING WHY BLAME AND FIRE COACH DARIO BONETTI. THAT MAN DID HIS JOB BY QUALIFYING ZAMBIA WHERE BIG NAMES LIKE NIGERIA, RSA, CONGO DR. CAMEROUN, EGYPT ETC FAILED TO MAKE IT. KALU AND TEAM SHOULD TELL US WHERE THE PAYMENT TO DB AND TEAM IS GOING TO COME FROM. IN ALL FAIRNESS DARIO BONETTI HAS BEEN UNFAIRLY BEEN TREATED. MAY BE FAZ IS ACTING ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MINISTER SHAMENDE COZ HE HINTED AT LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT OF THE COACH AS IT WAS DONE AT STATE AT THE INSTIGATIONOF RB & SONS. WHETHER FAZ FAZ LIKE IT OR NOT THEY WILL TO PAY DAMGES FRO BREACH OF CONTRACT. BUKARD ZIZIE GOT HIS DUES THROUGH FIFA AND WE HAVE NOT LEARNT A LESSON FROM THE PAST. LETS WAIT AND SEE WHAT WILL UNFOLD.
SHall we open a soccer/sports academy, and have player and coach training programs, then cultivate these into fulltime careers and even export some…
I would have thought that if there was mutual consent, he would have resigned and not been fired. But this is FAZ !
Hope you boniface you are saying the truth and able to put your index finger to it.some of us memories are fresh about yo facebook saga.i also pray u wont say i was misquoted by the press.
RB and DB ni pa chibululu te…..
if Don bonetti is paid k5 billion then he might help us by paying off the mafia back home to come and clean up the rotten eggs in FAZ especially that misfiring kalu. am sick and tired of these morons and their poor levels of judgement. i bet and hope they are banking on patrick phiri or some local coaches which i think is the best option at the moment because at least they know our players. finding a good coach now will need money ,lots of time to scrunitise and clearly all that time is not there before 2012 kicks off.
People, pay him, what is K5Billion
That is money I have given the homeless people. I mean I have an MSc, CIMA and ACCA completed and so I think dramatising K5billion like that is pathetic and childish.
Grow up people
Thanks
Gr. Matchona that is my exact message too! No Cup No coming back to Z. Chipolopolo should seek Guinean citizenship.
Bena Mwamelo, kanshi uku bosa mu bosa teti mwa nashako!! You are no firing your ka boyi, ala mwi la ponta!!! Accept that THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL F–kUPS!!!
Good…..we can build 10 schools with that money…nonsense.
Which Zambian has taken over? Msiska? Patrick Phiri? Charles Musonda? ??? Please pay them the same salary as Bonetti, it high time we stopped practicing racism & implimented equal pay for equal work in Zambia!!
the tourist is finally gone …!
Mushota U are the one who is childshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
