Former Zambian national coach Jan Brouwer has refused to leave Zambia until all his salary arrears are settled.

The Dutchman whose work permit expired two weeks ago is owed more than US$200,000 in arrears.

Brouwer has insisted that he will only leave Zambia after he has been paid his money.

Brouwer last week had a meeting with Zambia's sports ministry and Dutch embassy officials to seek their intervention in the matter.

Sports minister Levison Munda said after the meeting he would seek the help of the finance ministry to settle the amount.

Munda admitted that his ministry had no money to clear the outstanding arrears.

Brouwer was last year suspended by Caf for a bust up with match officials during an Africa Cup qualifier against Madagascar.

After the suspension Brouwer was given a job at the sports ministry looking after youth development until his two year contract with the Zambian FA expired this month.

The president of the Football Association of Zambia Evaristo Kasunga continues to insist that his association is not responsible for the debt accrued.

Kasunga said that after Brouwer's suspension, the association wanted him to leave the country but the state held on to him.

"They ended up taking him to the ministry of sports to help develop youth football in the country," said Kasunga.

"That meant he was no longer FAZ's employee."
