Zambia's new coach Dario Bonetti said his new job is 'a wonderful challenge'. The Italian, 48, took over the role on Monday, along with his three assistants - who include his brother Ivano Bonetti, who won two caps for Italy as a player. He declared his main ambition was to qualify the Chipolopolo for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. "We have great talent and I think it's a wonderful challenge for me," he told the BBC. "The experience in this great country [is what has attracted me] - Zambia has good players so I foresee great results." Bonetti knows that expectations among Zambian fans are high following Chipolopolo's success in reaching the quarter-finals of the 2010 Nations Cup in Angola - but he has called for a cautious approach. "It will depend on the quality of our work and many other things," Bonetti added. "The right mentality in football is not to think too far - it's better to take it step-by-step, match after match." He said he was relishing the pressure of managing the national side. "I chose this work because I like the pressure and my life has been full of that because I played for a long time - pressure is part of my life," Bonetti stated. "This is the fourth country I will be working in and for me, adapting shouldn't be a problem." Bonetti's first game will be a friendly away to Uganda on 11 August followed by a home Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Comoros Islands in September. source: Africanews.com
