Sekhukhune United have announced the appointment of Kaitano Tembo as the new head coach.
“Sekhukhune United Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Kaitano Tembo to the Technical Team of Sekhukhune United FC,” a club statement read.
“The former Supersport United FC Head Coach will be working as a Head Coach for Babina Noko. Mr Tembo takes over the Head Coach position of the team following the appointment of Mr. McDonald Makhubedu as the senior coach.”
Tembo’s appointment comes a week after former Orlando Pirate coach Owen Da Gama’s departure from Sekhukhune.
Meanwhile Maritzburg United confirmed the dismissal of Ernst Middendorp despite having guided the team to safety in the PSL in the recent 2021-22 campaign.
“Maritzburg United Football Club can confirm that the club have parted ways with head coach Ernst Middendorp with immediate effect,” a club statement read.
“Middendorp, who re-joined the club in November 2020, had most recently guided the Team of Choice to an underwhelming 12th place position in the 2021/2022PSL season which saw the Team of Choice battled relegation for much of the season.”
The 63-year-old mentor, who guided Chiefs to a second-place finish in the PSL during the 2019/20 season, was in his fourth stint as Maritzburg coach.
