Faz has decided to head hunt for a foreigner to coach for the Zambia national team.
And Lucky Msiska has been appointed as Under-23 coach.
According to Faz, the new head coach will be named at the end of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The announcement ends speculation that a local will be given the job and comes in the wake of Zambia’s failure to qualify for the CHAN tournament after they were eliminated by archrivals south Africa and the subsequent redeployment of George Lwandamina to the technical desk at Football House.
Meanwhile, Msiska will be assisted by Zanaco coach Wedson Nyirenda in his duties to guide the Under-23 to the Mozambique 2011 All-Africa Games and 2012 London Olympics.
Msiska replaces Patrick Phiri who is now with Simba of Tanzania was earlier appointed to the post two years ago.
Faz has also announced further changes to the Under-17 bench with Aggrey Chiyangi dropped and he will be replaced by Nkwazi and former Under-20 trainer Oswald Mutapa.
Football House has also made changes to the Under-20 team where Choma Eagles coach Keegan Mumba will be at the helm taking over from Honor Janza who is now Faz technical director.

From one Coach to another, same team! Until the world comes to its end!!!
On Keegan Mumba-job well done for the fair net. You spread it wide.
However, there are just promotions at Football house and no fruits. Kalu?wawa!!!!!!
kalu=RB Both non performers. RB= Farmer not president, KALU= player not administrator
good on you keegan. i remember your custex days or do i have mistaken identity?
Back and forth on coaches does it really matter? Isn`t our problem to do with the calibre of players? Solution-Send promising players for free to europe, at a young age and late them mature into quality material
Lwandamina failed a straight-forward test. Losing to a 3rd SA team with players that have been off season is serious. Perharps if we lost while playing some good football then we may have given Lwandamina the benefit of doubt.
Fellow Zambians who are capable should be encouraged to apply and given fair trials.
From where I see things a coach of Renards ability may be our better or only option if we can afford.
The solution is to import Brazilians who have no chance of playing for their country. I am sure we can get more than 20 quality Brazilians who will be willing to do this. Give them Zambian passports and call upon them to play in World Cup and CAN qualifiers. The current crop of players will be used for COSAFA and SECAFA and friendlies.
