Hands off my coach - Chippa United owner Mpengesi tells Safa, as Eymael's lawyer also joins fight

The Chilli Boys boss and Belgian’s legal representative have vowed to take on the local football mother body in defending the coach

Chippa United owner Siviwe Mpengesi says he will “embarrass” Safa’s bid to block Luc Eymael from working in South Africa while the coach’s lawyer Antoine Semeria has told the football governing body that it has “no authority to interfere” with his client’s freedom of movement.

This comes after Chippa sacked Lehlohonolo Seema on Tuesday and replaced him with Eymael who left his last job at Tanzanian giants Young Africans under a cloud after he was alleged to have referred to Young Africans supporters as monkeys and dogs.
