After a meeting between FAZ and the coach, it was agreed that in the interest of progress for both parties they had to separate,” says FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala.

Since he took over on February 3, 2020, Micho has been in charge of the Chipolopolo in the AFCON qualifiers, CHAN, and Cosafa Cup Qualifiers.

During his tenure, Zambia failed to qualify for the 2021 AFCON tournament but to be fair to him he only had four games with Aggrey Chiyangi having presided and lost the first two games.

Despite Aggrey Chiyangi qualify for the tournament, Micho was handed the mantle of managing the Zambia CHAN team but the Copper Bullets were disappointing.

The final nail in the coffin was the Cosafa Cup in South Africa where Zambia lost to minnows Lesotho and eSwatini.

Zambia only recorded her win over Botswana before a goalless draw against a fourth-grade Bafana Bafana side.

“I am grateful to the Zambian people, the players, coaches, officials, ls, and the fans who supported me in various ways during my stay. All the positive experiences with Chipolopolo Zambia I will use in my career ahead and would like to wish all the best to Zambia,” Micho said.

Micho once a Ugandan coach, parted ways with the Uganda Cranes in 2017 and joined the South African-based football club Old Pirates and later Zamalek of Egypt. He moved on to become the head of the Zambian National football team in 2020.
