Chippa axe coach Dan Malesela

Chippa United have fired coach Dan Malesela following the 3-1 loss to Baroka FC at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Tuesday night.


The defeat was the Chilli Boys’ second loss in three Absa Premiership matches.

Malesela confirmed his sacking to TimesLIVE on Wednesday.

“Yes I have been released. It did not come as a shock to me as I was expecting it,” Malesela said.

“When you work here at this club you expect anything. I don’t think I’ll be back in PE again ever again, I don’t think I’ll do that.”
