Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa has confirmed that Morgan Mammila is heading back to Chippa United following the vacancy of the assistant coach role at the Birds.
Mammila was relieved of his duties after a short stint at Chippa in February this year and joined Swallows a month later as a "technical advisor", where he was part of the team that helped the club finish in the top eight.

Mogashoa initially clarified to the Siya crew that Mammila was not head coach Musa Nyatama's assistant and that the latter has been tasked with finding his own assistant for next season.
There has been subsequent reports that Mammila is heading back to Chippa, so, Mogashoa has confirmed that the veteran administrator-turned coach will be back with the Chilli Boys ahead of the new season.
"Look, personally I think Morgan is leaving, from the conversations I've had with him I think he's leaving," Mogashoa said on Playing The Field With Shakes Podcast.
"And I wouldn't want to stand in anyone's way because our discussion was that you can come to Swallows and assist because he was doing nothing.
"I mean he had just been relieved of his duties at Chippa and I said, 'You can come to Swallows and see what you can do and we'll see what the plans are for next season'," he said.
Mogashoa carried on and suggested that Mammila likes the spotlight and he will get that at Chippa.

"So Chippa took him back, good for him. I know my friend Morgan likes microphones and TV cameras, so he gets that opportunity again to go to Chippa and be on the TV cameras and do interviews," he said.
"Because at Swallows Musa (Nyatama) is the head coach, so he can't be competing with Musa," he added.
