Manqoba Mngqithi is back in the coaching saddle just three months after his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mngqithi is joined by former players Musa Bilankulu and Kagiso Dikgacoi, both of whom are part of the club’s current technical team.
Abafana Bes’thende confirmed on Monday afternoon on their social media accounts.
The KZN-born mentor has a good history with Arrows after winning the MTN8 trophy in 2009 against Ajax Cape Town, now known as Cape Town Spurs.
Mngqithi will hope to use his experience at Sundowns and the other teams to improve the fortunes of Arrows, who are 11th in the PSL with 20 points from 16 matches.
The tactician will get a baptism of fire as his first match is against his former team Sundowns on Wednesday March 5 when the Brazilians will be going for a fifth straight league win.
Sundowns have already beaten Arrows twice this season and Mngqithi was in charge when they won 5-0 in the Telkom Knockout in October while Cardoso led them to a 4-0 victory in February.
