Igesund tipped for Zambia spot

GORDON Igesund’s representatives are to hold talks with the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) as the former South Africa coach is poised to take over the reins of Chipolopolo.

Igesund is the number one choice of FAZ, but reports that he has been appointed already are jumping the gun.

His representative, Mike Makaab, is to discuss personal terms with the Zambian association and if they come to an agreement it will mean a return to international football for Igesund after his contract with the South African Football Association was not renewed in August 2014.

It will also mean Igesund will land a job he was first touted for 15 years ago when he was sounded out over a caretaker role with Zambia in 2001.

Igesund has been out of a job since he was axed by SuperSport United in January. – Nick Said
