CHIPOLOPOLO coach Beston Chambeshi was on Monday handed a surprise visit by his former teammates for Tunisian Club Sportif de Hammam-Lif.
Chambeshi is in Tunisia with the national team ahead of the final group game in the World Cup Qualifiers against that country this evening.
FAZ media reports that, the Chipolopolo coach was pleasantly surprised that officials from Lif were on hand to visit him on the slide lines of Chipolopolo’s training.
“Over two decades ago Chipolopolo head coach Beston Chambeshi endeared himself to some Tunisian football faithful with his exploits for Club Sportif de Hammam-Lif.
“Club representatives and some of his former teammates paid him a surprise call as the Chipolopolo were about to get down to training at the Stade Hammadi Arebi in Tunis. Chambeshi was presented with a Club Sportif Hammam-Lif replica and a framed image of the 1995 squad that he was part of.
“Chambeshi spent two seasons in Tunisia and dazzled with his then silky skills that left a permanent imprint on Tunisian football,” FAZ reports.
Nicknamed Quicksilver for his blistering pace, Chambeshi was a skillful winger whose exploits for his boyhood club Nkana saw him shipped to Tunisia.
