Grant extends winless streak to 6 games

As Zambia’s hopes for a debut appearance at the FIFA World Cup fade, questions are being raised about Avram Grant’s suitability as head coach.

The team’s 1-0 home loss to Tanzania in a FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifier marked their sixth consecutive game without a win, totaling 540 minutes with only two draws and four defeats.

Critics suggest that the issues may extend beyond Grant, pointing to a perceived lack of quality in the Chipolopolo squad and questioning the leadership of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), led by Andrew Kamanga.

Recent results under Avram Grant:
