Mpengesi wants Moloi back at Chippa

Just a few days after sacking him, Chippa United chairman Siviwe Mpengesi says he would like to have Teboho Moloi back at the club.


Moloi was fired by Chippa last weekend, with Mpengesi citing poor results as the reason for pulling the trigger.

“Teboho is a very good guy and he’s my friend. I would like to deploy him to other roles within the club. I am planning to table that offer to him. I have [already] hinted to him that if he wants. He can come back any time,” Mpengesi told Sowetan yesterday.

“Unlike other coaches who we fired and went to talk bad about us in the media, Teboho is different. I would really like to keep my healthy relationship with him. The reason to part ways with him was more of a precautional measure. The results were not forthcoming,

It seem Moloi is also keen on returning to Chippa, but does not want to return as a coach.

“If he’s saying that, let’s wait and see what the offer is. [But] it mustn’t be a coaching role,” said Moloi.

“I don’t hold anything against him. At the end of the day he had to make a decision. Maybe he’s been in that situation before, that’s why he pressed the panic button.”
