CAIRO: Zambia coach Herve Renard questions the decision of midfielder Rainford Kalaba to join Zamalek in the winter break.
Zamalek snapped up the 23-year-old Zambia international on loan from Sporting Braga, but his manager wasn’t impressed with the switch.
I wished he hadn’t sign for Zamalek because Egypt is not the best place for him, Renard was quoted by Zambian media.
Renard, whose contract runs out in May, revealed that he had offers to manage African teams who will be in the 2010 World Cup, implying that he won t hesitate to say yes.
I have received invitations from two World Cup teams and if they agreed to sign me, I think you know my response, said the Frenchman.
My dream is to be coach of any team going to the World Cup. If you heard Shehata Hassan, the Egyptian coach after winning the Africa Cup he said; I have won three Africa Cups with Egypt but now my dream is the World Cup .
It s a fantastic thing for football the 2010 World Cup and I want to be part of that dream but if people want to criticize me it is their problem. When you have a chance to be part of such an event, it is difficult to refuse.
Shehata claimed on Monday that he has been unofficially approached by Nigeria, who are unlikely to keep manager Shaibu Amodu in his post.
