Zambia and head coach Avram Grant agree to part ways
The 70-year-old former Chelsea, West Ham and Ghana manager was appointed by Zambia in 2022 and secured back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
He most recently oversaw the country's unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign, as his team ended in fourth place in Group E, behind qualified Morocco as well as Niger and Tanzania, and ahead of bottom-side Congo.
Grant was set to lead his side out in a friendly international against South Africa next month as part of their preparations for the upcoming AFCON, but he has since parted ways.
A statement from FAZ general secretary Machacha Shepande read: "The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has agreed to mutually separate with Zambia Senior Men's National Team coach Avram Grant.
"The two parties agreed to mutually separate with FAZ wishing Mr. Grant the best of luck in his future endeavours.
"The rest of the details will be communicated in due course. For now can only thank Mr. Grant for his contribution to the Zambian game."
