Over a month after he was spotted on the bench of Chippa United, the club has confirmed Morgan Mammila’s position.

On 4 February, Mammila was seen alongside Chippa’s technical team at Seshego Stadium, where the Chilli Boys were due to play Magesi FC.

However, it’s only today, 11 March, that Chippa has finally confirmed his position.

“Chippa United FC is pleased to officially announce Morgan Mammila as the club’s first-ever Football Sporting Director. Mammila rejoined the club last month without an official announcement. We have been working behind-the-scenes to carefully reintegrate him into the football environment after a period away from the game,” reads the club’s statement.

“Following a thorough evaluation, we have now formalized his appointment to lead the club’s sporting operations. In his new role, Mammila will be responsible for overseeing the technical team, driving player recruitment, and strengthening the developmental and reserve team structures to create a clear pathway for young talent.

“His appointment is a strategic step in ensuring continuity and alignment across all footballing aspects of the club, from the development level to the first team.”

Meanwhile, Thabo September retains his position as head coach, and Mabhuti Khenyeza continues as the assistant coach.
