The Serbian coach is said to have hailed the Zambian football association, players and supporters for the love showed to him.

“I am grateful to the Zambian people, the players, coaches, officials and the fans who supported me in various ways during my stay. All the positive experience with Chipolopolo Zambia I will use in my career ahead and would like to wish all the best to Zambia,” Micho said.

Micho took over as Zambian coach in February last year but has had a torrid spell in charge of the Chipolopolo including a dismal performance during the 2021 COSAFA Cup.
