More Coaching Changes On The Horizon For Chippa?

Chippa United might not be done with the coaching changes for the season, with the club linked with yet another coach after their most recent loss. 

The Chilli Boys have been dragged into the relegation dogfight after losing to Marumo Gallants 3-1 on Wednesday.

The Eastern Cape outfit is 15th on the DStv Premiership log with only a two-point difference between themselves and bottom-placed Maritzburg United with four matches to go.

As a result, the club is linked with former AmaZulu coach Romain Folz as plans to avoid relegation are high on the agenda after their most recent loss.    

Following the side's loss to Orlando Pirates in the previous game, Chippa replaced Kurt Lentjies with Siyabulela Gwambi on interim basis.

The club announced in their statement that Gwambi has appointed to be in charge for the remainder of the season.

However, with the Gqeberha outfit having moved further down on the log and at risk of relegation, there is cause for concern for the powers that be, regarding the team's situation.

"The name of Romain Folz has been mentioned regarding a possible move to Chippa and whether that will be for this or next season remains to be seen," said the source. 

"You must remember that Folz is still having a contract with AmaZulu and is comfortable in his role of advising the club's president on the technical aspects of AmaZulu's Vision 2032 and any move to any club at this stage might take long because of the discussions that would need to take place," the source added.

Apart from their upcoming match this weekend against Sekhukhune United in the Nedbank Cup, Chippa's remaining matches in the league will be against Kaizer Chiefs, Richards Bay FC, TS Galaxy and Golden Arrows.

As reported by the Siya crew, sources close to the club have indicated that there is also a chance of bringing back Lehlohonolo Seema from nearby ABC Mostepe League side Peace Makers.
