Lehlohonolo Seema has opened up about his abrupt exit from Chippa United, insisting that chairman Siviwe Mpengesi will ‘regret the way he’s treating people’.
Seema was roped in for the final four matches of the DStv Premiership season as the Chilli Boys stared at the jaws of relegation in 14th spot.
He guided Chippa to safety with a victory, draw, and two defeats but those results were not enough to earn him an extension of contract into the 2023/2024 campaign.
“It’s done, it was a call for four games, he told me he won’t continue with me, he has another plan, so yeah, I’m jobless as we speak,” Seema said.
“Very disappointed. But God will open another opportunity for me. One day the chairman will regret the way he’s treating people.”
“Hopefully the next team can provide an opportunity for a whole season and I can push myself again, but definitely not continuing with Chippa, added Seema.”
Prior to his brief Chippa recall, the 42-year-old mentor had been without a job since being released from Golden Arrows at the end of the 2021/2022 campaign.
Chippa won seven games, drawing nine and losing 14 times in 30 games in the 2022/23 season.
