The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has confirmed that the case involving its former coach, Aljosa Asanovic, is currently before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). FAZ appealed the decision by a single judge of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to award runaway coach Aljosa Asanovic $1.1m for an alleged breach of contract. FAZ General Secretary Reuben Kamanga says there has been no decision yet by CAS. "We did appeal the ruling by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee to CAS and throughout this process, we have been liaising closely with our legal team to ensure that justice prevails in this matter," says Kamanga. Kamanga has advised FAZ members and stakeholders to be patient as the court process takes a long time to be exhausted. "Matters of a legal nature require some level of prudence. As it stands, the process is taking place, and the case is still being developed from all sides. We are far away from any decisions being made right now, and any suggestion otherwise is fundamentally inaccurate. FAZ will duly update the public as the case progresses," he says. FAZ appointed Asanovic on 18 January 2022, but the Croatian announced that he had unilaterally terminated his contract with Zambia on 22 September 2022. Asanovic abandoned his post in the aftermath of Zambia losing 1-0 at home to Mozambique, resulting in their elimination from the African Nations Championship campaign. The case is still ongoing, and it is unclear when a decision will be made. FAZ has said that they will keep the public updated on the case as it progresses.
