David Mogashoa Explains Steve Komphela Appointment! The Dube Birds revealed him to be their new tactician.

Steve Komphela has been announced as the new head coach of Swallows FC. Club Chairman David Mogashoa has explained the scenario leading up to the appointment.

Komphela will take over from Musa Nyatama, who will be serving as an assistant to the more experienced Komphela.

“That’s a big appointment, something that happened unexpectedly,” Mogashoa told SABC Sport.  

“I got wind of it last week Friday that coach Steve was available, and I had to move quickly – that’s why I was running away from you.

“Considering this was done very quickly, he [Komphela] is on a season-long contract, plus an option to renew it for a longer term.

“Obviously we wanted coach Musa to continue, but coach Steve is more experienced – and I still want Musa to learn. I don’t want to throw him under the bus because, after three games with no results, supporters will be calling for him to go.

“So, it’s a good thing for Musa to learn from Steve and get equipped with the qualification,”

“I was actually very worried the whole week and I almost changed my mind because I made a commitment to Musa.

“We called a meeting – me, the CEO, the general manager and coach Musa. We were so shocked because he was accepting of everything, that there was someone more senior and he is willing to work under them.

“We invited him to dinner for coach Steve’s birthday. He is willing to learn.” He added.

He will begin pre-season preparations almost immediately. David Mogashoa Explains Steve Komphela Appointment!
