The Zambia coach accused of sexual misconduct at the 2023 Women’s World Cup has been replaced but will remain part of the national team setup “in an advisory role”.

Bruce Mwape remains under investigation by Fifa after allegations that he intentionally touched on a breast one of its contractors working closely with the Zambia team during the tournament in New Zealand and that he rubbed his hands over the chest of a player after a training session. Mwape has denied the accusations and was allowed to continue in his post by the Football Association of Zambia.
