Chippa United confirm coaching changes ahead of 2024/25 season
Like Mamelodi Sundowns, no more co-coaching at Chippa United!
Chippa United have announced that Kwanele Kopo will be the club’s head coach and Thabo September will be his assistant ahead of the 2024/25 season.
“Last season, coach Kwanele Kopo and coach Thabo September stepped into the role of co-coaches midway through the season, tasked with the critical objective of maintaining our club’s status and improving our league standing,” the statement said.
“Under their leadership, the objective was met with 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Their success in achieving this goal has laid a strong foundation for the future of the club. As we enter the new season, our objectives have evolved.
No longer are we simply aiming to survive; we are committed to competing vigorously in our home games and focusing on developing talent from the Eastern Cape. This is a mission that extends beyond our coaching staff to include all stakeholders of Chippa United FC.
“In alignment with these new objectives, the club has decided to appoint Kwanele Kopo as the head coach for the 2024/2025 season.
“Thabo September will take on the role of assistant coach. Coach September’s extensive experience in player development, particularly at the reserve and developmental levels, positions him perfectly to spearhead our efforts in nurturing local talent from the Eastern Cape and bringing them into our first team.
“We believe this directive will enhance our competitive edge and help us fulfil our commitment to being the pride of the Eastern Cape. We remain unapologetically dedicated to our province and our mission.”
