Mabedi was sacked by Chiefs as their assistant coach after serving for two seasons under Steve Komphela and Giovanni Solinas.
The former Malawi international was unveiled as a new assistant coach at Black Leopards.
Thidiela believes Mabedi is a perfect fit for Leopards and will contribute to the club’s targets for next season.
“Mabedi was a good player in his day. He captained Chiefs and the Malawi national team,” Thidiela was quoted by Isolezwe.
“Now he is an experienced coach and I believe he will help the team a lot especially with setting up our defence because he was a defender.
“If a person is not good enough at one club, doesn’t mean he will fail at other club. I don’t know what happened between him and Chiefs and I don’t wish to know.”
