Hopeful of a better showing at the Africa Cup of Nations and aiming to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, Zambia has found a new strategy.

The helm of the Zambian national team is taken over by Avram Grant.

A. Grant took over the reins of the Chelsea team at the start of the 2007-2008 season and led them to the finals of the Champions League and League Cup. That season, the "aristocrats" also competed for the English champions title.

However, the collaboration with the specialist ended after the season.

Throughout his career, the 67-year-old Jew has also managed West Ham United, Portsmouth, Partizan, Israeli teams, and the national teams of Israel and Ghana.
