Herve Renard Quits Zambia, Thanx Kalusha and Zambia ‘I Will Never Forget Zambia’
Former Zambia National Soccer Team coach, Herve Renard has paid glowing tribute to FAZ chief Kalusha Bwalya and the people of Zambia for according him an opportunity to work with Chipololpolo as well as giving him the chance to further his personal career by releasing him to take up a new challenge in France.
The Football Association of Zambia on Monday announced the release of Herve Renard from the job of National coach of the Zambian National Football Team. The 2012 Nations Cup winning coach has been offered a wonderful opportunity at FC Sochaux in the top league in France.
In his first comments since the announcement of his release, the 2012 Nations Cup winning coach and African Coach of the Year said: “I would like to thank Kalusha for this opportunity and for allowing me to further my career. I enjoyed working with him and together we did the best to further the development and rise of the Chipolopolo. I wish the team well.”
“I will never forget Zambia,” Renard said as he left Football House Monday afternon.

This has been one of my happiest days in my life. Herve was a waste of resources who never added value to our football.
In fact his departure was long overdue.

@ Gen your jealousy will never take you anywhere. You as Zambian, tell us what contribution you have made to Zambian soccer or any contribution you made apart from soccer which can be nationally recognized apart from working for your rentals…. A least what HR did even yourself though you may pretend you know what happened in 2012. He is in the history books of FIFA whereas you, you are not.
We hope Mayuka will be revived!

Unfortunate thing for Zambia.Time to hate its football has neared.Ukulanda landa ba pushi.Elo mwatamba po bola. Firing conscience,twalamona nomba.
Merci beaucoup

C’est bien mon chier Herve Renard. Tu etait le premier entrainer en Zambie d’amener la coupe d’Afrique. Traivaille bien avec Emmanuel Mayuka. Comme ca, il sera bon a cote de toi. Mwabombeni ba Renard. Those who were not happy have their own reasons. For me I say, he did well. If you look at the statistics, you will find that the losses were minimal, followed by the draws and the wins. Let’s appreciate where it is due. I really thank him for what he did for Zambian football. Today we have more than two national teams. Some professionals did not play and those where more than those who played.

To be frank… even myself on few occasions did not like Renard because of some mistakes he made at critical times. Remember substitutions he did make, failure to include obvious players in certain games, how he would misplace players in wrong positions…the list goes on and on. Now since he is leaving I feel like crying. Go well and do not forget some women you have left behind.

Sample the posts and find the proportion of those saying HR was good and those that are saying he was bad.The answer can be inferred to the whole population and that’s what pipo felt about HR.

You will see. The football quality will improve. Our boys cant understand instructions in English let alone French.
No more draws
No more being kick out of tournaments without losing a game.

So what The Post Had written about this Herve is true. Why did FAZ dispute that comment he made?

Good luck Renard.You touched my heart when I saw you instinctively lift an injured player into your arms on to the pitch to celebrate Zambia’s AFCON win in Gabon.I knew then that you had a heart not only for a win but above all,for the players.
God saw that gesture, and has rewarded you for it.
Stay blest
The Best is yet to come

Christian, I really liked our French coach. He was a good coach to the Chipolopolo, but that gesture you have mentioned is also ingrained in my brain. You are a good man Herve Renard. Go well. Aller bien mousieur Renard! Vous nous manquerez!

Lucky Msiska should now be given the mandate to coach Zambia. I think he is the right for Zambia now
Shimabolo
October 8, 2013 at 10:59 am
We are better off without him. He is an ass hole
He promised to resign if he did not make Zambia qualify to the world cup but he was waiting to be fired. It is a results game and if he does not deliver he should be fired.
Good bye shimabolo.

Only fools wouldn’t appreciate the efforts of Herve Renard, Winning is a joint effort of both the coach and the players. Zambia won the Africa cap because both parties worked together. Now that the team is losing you want to blame Renard..Its a no brainer to blame Renard..he doesn’t play the game he just gives a game plan which the players should use to win. if Zambia is now losing its not the fault of the coach…The players are the one who are not winning. Ba Zambia the just became complacent after winning that’s why the lost like bakula…Real Talk

Oh my God, so most Zambians liked Renard? It simply means they were also happy when no points came our way. Who could be in praise of HR looking at such results like Zambia against Lesotho and Sudan which were World Cup games. RENARD WAS HALF BAKED
