Pressure Mounting For September At Chippa

Pressure Mounting For September At Chippa

Thabo September, Head Coach of Chippa United during the Betway Premiership 2023/24 game between Chippa United and Orlando Pirates at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on 5 March 2025

A PSL coach is linked with a role at Chippa United as pressure has been mounting on Thabo September as the coach of the side.

Due to some unsatisfactory results by the Chili Boys this year, September has become increasingly under pressure, with the indications from sources close to the club suggesting that he is facing an uncertain future.

Under September, since taking over from Kwanele Kopo in December, while working with former Golden Arrows coach Mabhuti Khenyeza and more recently with Morgan Mammila also in the mix, Chippa have won three matches, drawn two, and lost five in all competitions.

With the Gqeberha-based team having struggled for consistency in delivering the desired performances, speculation has been growing over September's long-term role at the club.

According to sources, Chippa could be considering other options, with former Sekhukhune United coach Lehlohonolo Seema emerging as one of the candidates for the job.

Seema, who was recently released by Babina Noko, is being linked with a return to the Eastern Cape side, where he previously served as a caretaker coach.

He shares a good relationship with Chippa chairman Siviwe Mpengesi, which could work in his favour should the club decide to make a change in the dugout.

Mpengesi recently reunited with Mammila, further fuelling speculation that he may also bring back Seema to stabilise the team.

However, Seema is not short of suitors, as he is also reportedly on the radar of Richards Bay FC, who are looking to strengthen their technical team.

With his experience in the PSL, Seema remains a sought-after coach, and his next move could be crucial for his career.

For now, September remains in charge at Chippa, but with the team's struggles continuing following their loss to Orlando Pirates in their most recent match, the 42-year-old's position appears increasingly fragile.

The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether the club sticks with him or opts for a fresh approach.
