Chippa United have confirmed the appointment of new head co-coaches with current coach Morgan Mammila being redeployed to the Technical Director role.
The Chilli Boys on Tuesday confirmed that Thabo September and Lwanele Kopo will take over as co-coaches with immediate effect.
Mammila only returned to the Club for his second stint at the beginning of the current 2023/24 season after coaching Moroka Swallows in the second half of last season.
Part of Chippa United’s statement read:
“In a strategic move to bolster our club’s vision and future, our current head coach, who has admirably led the team for 16 games and secured 18 points, will be transitioning into the role of Technical Director for the remainder of the season.
“This change allows us to leverage his extensive experience and knowledge in a role that is crucial for the club’s long-term strategy and success.
“The Club welcomes Thabo September and Kwanele Kopo, both highly respected figures in the football community, as our new co-coaches.
“Thabo September, a former professional player, brings a wealth of on-field experience and understanding of the game.
“Kwanele Kopo, born and bred in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape, and renowned as a teacher of the game, offers an unparalleled depth of tactical expertise.
“Together, they will lead our team with a focus on nurturing local talent and ensuring the team remains in the Premier Soccer League.
“Chippa United has always been more than just a football club. Since our arrival from Phillipi, Cape Town to Gqeberha, Eastern Cape in 2014. We have not only been a part of this province but have become integral to its sporting culture.”
