In a major coup, the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has hired immediate past Ghana’s Black Queen’s head coach, Nora for Copper Queens of Zambia ahead of the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations holding July in Morocco.
The Ghana Football Association had wanted to keep the Swiss manager beyond the 31st December, 2024 when her contract expired but both parties were unable to reach an agreement despite efforts to increase the wages of the 41-year-old tactician.
