Nora Häuptle has been appointed head coach of Zambia’s senior women’s national team, the Copper Queens, on a two-year contract. The Swiss tactician takes over following the dismissal of Bruce Mwape.
Häuptle, who previously led Ghana’s Black Queens, was hired by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in 2023 to succeed Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo. During her tenure, she achieved notable successes, including securing qualification for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and clinching the 2023 WAFU Zone B Women’s Cup. Her leadership also saw the Black Queens make an impressive run in the Women’s Olympic qualifiers, narrowly losing to Zambia.
Despite her accomplishments with the Black Queens, Häuptle chose not to renew her contract with the GFA after it expired. She has now committed to leading the Copper Queens, reportedly earning a monthly salary of $7,000.
Before her stint with the Black Queens, Häuptle served as a technical advisor to Ghana’s U-20 women’s team during the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica. Her unveiling as Zambia’s head coach is expected to take place next week.
