FOOTBALL administrator Simataa Simataa yesterday said Chipolopolo coach Herve Renard has not behaved correctly by talking to other countries after assurances from Republican President Rupiah Banda about his future.

Featuring on Hot fm's Hot-seat programme, Simataa said Renard should have considered President Banda's offer even in the face of adverse criticism from the media and the public.

"Renard has not behaved correctly. The patron, the President has assured him and wanting him to stay. No matter what the offences were, whether criticism from the media or from supporters, you don't repay that by talking to other people, wanting to join them," he said.

Simataa said it was unfortunate that Renard had violated the FAZ constitution provision of being answerable to FAZ.

"According to the constitution of FAZ, the national coach is answerable to the technical committee which is also answerable to FAZ executive committee. Unfortunately the coach is only answerable to FAZ. It's sad that Munaile head of technical committee has been reduced to nothing," he said.

During a press conference at Football House on Wednesday, Renard confirmed discussions with unnamed countries for a possible switch.

He also said he would not allow any reshuffles to the technical bench should he extend his stay at the helm of Chipolopolo.

Meanwhile, Simataa said the current FAZ executive did not deserve absolute praise for the national team's performance at the just ended Africa Cup of Nations in Angola because the previous executives also played a role in the success.

"I have difficulties to give total praise, absolute praise for the Angola outing to this executive because those players are not coming out from the last two years, some of them come from the Teddy Mulonga executive, others from the Kasunga executive. Let's reach 2014 then we will see what the Kalusha Bwalya executive has left us with," he said.

Simataa also called on the National Sports Council of Zambia to take action against FAZ for defying their directive to take action against culprits of the London fiasco.

"The London issue was a symptom that became a disease, I have no kind words for that executive, sports council directed them to take action but they are quiet and sports counsel is quiet, where are the rules?" he asked.

Simataa called for the sacking of FAZ general secretary George Kasengele if the affairs at Football House were to improve.

"If I were to be elected president of FAZ, the first thing I would do is to fire the GS general secretary and immediately advertise his position," said Simataa.
