Ex Malawi coach in frame for 2010 Lesotho post

Former Malawi coach Kim Splidsboel heads the names on a four-man shortlist of foreigners drawn up by football chiefs in Lesotho to take charge of the national team.

Splidsboel, a Danish national, told AFP that he would be willing to be interviewed for the post as long as his bill for the trip to the mountain kingdom in southern Africa was picked up.

Englishman Stewart Hall, Germany's Zitter Glutter and the Serb Zavisa Milankovic complete the shortlist, sources inside the Lesotho FA said.

According to FA spokesman Mokhosi Mohapi, the coach should be in place by March in time for the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in neighbouring South Africa.

"We need the coach as early as possible because we need to have a competitive team for these competitions," Mohapi said.

The last coach Mothao Mohapi, a Lesotho national, was sacked in November after a string of poor results. His predecessor, Germany's Tony Hey, was sacked in 2005.
