Former Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic is reportedly set to be appointed as the new head coach of the Zambian national team.

The Serbian mentor has been out of a job since parting ways with Egyptian giants Zamalek earlier last month.

However, Sredojevic recently confirmed that a number of teams are interested in his services, including Pyramids FC, Club Africa, MC Alger, Wydad Casablanca and the Ghanian national team.

Zambian publication Lusaka Times has revealed Sredojevic looks set to sign a two-year contract with the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ).

‘The Football Association of Zambia has appointed Serbian coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic as head coach of the Zambian National Team,’ the newspaper reported.

‘Micho will jet into Zambia next week to sign a two-year deal.

‘FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala confirmed the appointment to the media this afternoon.

‘FAZ has since informed the Ministry of Sports over the development.

‘The former Uganda trainer who took the Cranes to the first Africa Cup finals in 38 years beat off competition from former Mozambique coach and Portugal international Abel Xavier and Ivan Jacky Minnaert of Belgium.

‘Micho is coming with an assistant coach, goalkeeper trainer and will be joined from time to time by a physical trainer and a video analyst.’
