Sredojevic 'inspired by Zambia's 1993 Gabon Air crash heroes'

The tactician made the comments after visiting the memorial site where the late players were laid to rest 27 years ago

Zambia head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has said he will be inspired by the spirit of the Gabon Air crash victims while he performs his duties.

Speaking during a visit to the Gabon Memorial site on Tuesday, the former SC Villa and Orlando Pirates tactician said the players who perished 27 years years ago, when their aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, will forever be remembered by the nation.

The Chipolopolo were en route to Dakar for a Fifa World Cup qualifier against Senegal before their plane plunged into the ocean.
