Chippa United have bolstered their technical staff, most recently confirming the appointment of former Orlando Pirates midfielder Musa Nyatama as assistant coach.
This marks a significant addition to the Gqeberha club's coaching setup.
Nyatama, a familiar face from his playing days with Buccaneers and Mamelodi Sundowns, comes to Chippa after a season coaching Leruma United in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, which ended in relegation for his former side.
While there were indications he might remain with Leruma United in the SAFA ABC Motsepe League, the allure of the Premiership with Chippa proved stronger.
This appointment comes on the heels of Sinethemba Badela's recent promotion to head coach and follows the departure of former assistant Mabhuti Khenyeza at the close of last season.
CHIPPA UNITED CHAIRMAN ON NYANTAMA’S APPOINTMENT
“The club believes Nyatama will blend seamlessly with head coach Sinethemba Badela, both young, ambitious, and aligned in their football philosophies,” said club boss Siviwe “Chippa” Mpengesi.
“Their shared energy and fresh approach represent a new era for Chippa United FC, focused on entertaining football, intensity, and results.
“We believe the combination of Coach Badela and Coach Nyatama will bring a renewed spirit and tactical sharpness to our squad.
“This is a bold and progressive step for the Club. Nyatama will work closely with the first team technical staff, focusing on tactical planning, player development, and overall squad growth.
“His appointment reflects the club’s ongoing commitment to empowering young football minds and strengthening its football identity both on and off the pitch.”
