Zambia unveils former Black Queens coach Nora Häuptle on three-year deal

The Football Association of Zambia has unveiled Nora Häuptle following her departure from Ghana’s Black Queens.

The event, which was held on Friday at the Taj Pamodzi Hotel, saw Nora sign a three-year deal to become the head coach of the Copper Queens.

Nora announced her departure from her role as the gaffer of the Black Queens earlier this month following the expiration of her contract.

She’s now expected to lead Zambia in their quest to fight for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) to be staged in July.

The Swiss trainer’s immediate task will be to prepare the squad for the tournament through a series of friendly matches.

Zambia knocked out Nora’s Black Queens in the qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games in a two-legged encounter.

Following her departure from the Ghana national team, the Ghana Football Association brought in Kim Lars Bjorkegren to take over her role.
