The Super Eagles were placed in the “group of death” in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup.

Igesund has been recommended to take over the Chipolopolo from caretaker coach George Lwandamina and he will now be appointed in the new week after all the bureaucratic bottlenecks would have been cleared following a court dismissal of a petition by the opposition party against the election of Edgar Lungu as the country’s new President.

The 25-year-old forward played a crucial role in Gernot Rohr’s men 1-0 victory over Tanzania in last Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo.

The Chipolopolo’s most famous global football outing till date was the heroics of the team to the 1988 Seoul Olympics where Zambia defeated Italy 4-0.
