The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has announced the departure of Chipolopolo head coach Avram Grant, following a mutual agreement to part ways.

FAZ General Secretary Machacha Shepande confirmed the development, stating that the decision was made to enable the association to pursue a new strategic direction for the Zambia Men’s National Football Team.

“The two parties agreed to part ways amicably, and FAZ wishes Mr Grant the best of luck in his future endeavours,” Shepande said.

Grant, who was appointed on 22 December 2022 on a two-year contract, led Zambia to back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifications—for the 2024 tournament and the upcoming Morocco 2025 edition.

FAZ expressed gratitude for Grant’s contributions, noting that further details surrounding the separation will be communicated in due course.

Zambia is set to compete in Group A of the Morocco 2025 AFCON, alongside hosts Morocco, Mali, and Comoros.
