Football Association of Zambia spokesman Sydney Mungala expressed, "Mr Poulsen holds a special place in the hearts of many Zambians for the role he played in the rebuilding of the team. The post-Gabon disaster era cannot be honoured or remembered without his name coming at the top." This highlights the lasting impact Poulsen had on Zambian football, particularly in the face of tragedy.
Voicing the enormity of his task when he took over, Poulsen shared insights on the team's struggles: "I could see this was going to be a big job. I felt the ability of the players was not really there, that they didn't have any confidence. All quite understandable given they were in foreign country with strange food and accommodation, far away from family." This indicates the emotional barriers he tackled.
