Malesela: Former Orlando Pirates skipper returns for third stint as Chippa United coach

Chippa United have appointed Dan Malesela as coach for a third stint, replacing Lehlohonolo Seema who was relived of his duties last week.

Malesela’s return to Chippa comes three days after the club withdrew the appointment of Luc Eymael following public outrage over racism allegations against the Belgian.

The Chilli Boys owner Siviwe Mpengesi believes the club will be a “great force” under Malesela who will be in charge for the rest of the season, with an option to extend his stay.

“It was not a difficult decision to take because we have the backing of supporters as you know coach Dan is a supporters favourite,” Mpengesi told Chippa United's media.
