Bamfuchile had been due to return to Namibia ahead of the Nations Cup
Namibia coach Ben Bamfuchile has died in Zambia.
The 47 year-old Zambian succumbed to illness on Thursday night in the nothern city of Kitwe.
Bamfuchile became an instant hero in September after Namibia snatched a 3-2 victory in Ethiopia to qualify for the African Nations Cup finals.
The Brave Warriors' victory left more fancied group opponents like the DR Congo on the sidelines.
It was only the second time the country had reached the finals of the African football showpiece.
Bamfuchile had previously coached his own country.
