Former Black Queens head coach, Nora Hauptle, has made a bold claim that she has the means to get Zambia’s National Women Football Team to “perform convincingly”.
She said this according to 20 Minutes, a Swiss media outlet, in the wake of her appointment as the Copper Queens head coach after leaving the same role with Ghana.
The former Israel Women’s head coach stated that she departed Ghana due to her refusal to make compromises while negotiating a new contract with the Ghana Football Association. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
Having seen Zambia fail to progress from the group stage in the 2018 Women’s AFCON and finish third in the 2022 edition despite having world class forwards Racheal Kundananji and Barbra Banda, Hauptle believes that she can get Zambia to perform convincingly.
“I’m excited by the team’s enormous potential. Recently, they have regularly participated in finals, but have not yet been able to perform convincingly. I know what we need to do as a team.”
Hauptle’s Zambia will compete with Ghana at this year’s Women’s AFCON that runs from July 5 to July 26 in Morocco.
