New coach sacked at Chippa United: What's going on at the South African club?

Chippa United's new campaign has begun on a troubling note, both in terms of results and a series of perplexing internal moves.

The club's hierarchy has opted to dismiss key members of the technical team, including assistant coach Musa Nyatama, goalkeeping coach Thembalethu Moses, and analyst Prinil Dean. This sudden overhaul adds to a sense of instability surrounding the team.

Their on-field fortunes have been equally concerning, managing only a single point from their opening three matches. After an initial draw, the team suffered back-to-back defeats—including a concerning 4-1 loss to TS Galaxy.

Amid this turbulence, the club has confirmed the acquisition of young attacking midfielder Azola Tshobeni from Orlando Pirates. The team is now under the guidance of newly appointed head coach Sinethemba Badela, who steps into his first top-flight managerial role after previously serving as an assistant at Wydad Casablanca.
