“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.
