Mamelodi Sundowns sent a declaration of intent for next season after Steve Komphela announced that he left Lamontville Golden Arrows to join the league champions as a “senior coach.”
The 53-year-old former Kaizer Chiefs coach announced his arrival at Chloorkop with a statement he issued on Monday morning.
“I have been given an exciting opportunity to join Mamelodi Sundowns as a senior coach and work with their joint head coaches, Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena,” said the former head of Bafana Bafana.
Komphela will work with joint coaches Mngqithi and Mokwena as Sundowns continues to strengthen both his playing team and his coaching staff following the departure of irrepressible mentor Pitso Mosimane to Egyptian powerhouses Al Ahly last month.
“I look forward to this exciting challenge and I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa and on the African continent.”
Komphela thanked Golden Arrowns owner and president Mato Madlala for providing the opportunity when he joined the KwaZulu-Natal side in December 2018.
“I would like to express my deep gratitude to Lamontville Golden Arrows President Mato Madlala and Golden Arrows FC for their support and encouragement while I was the head coach of Golden Arrows.
“Mato Madlala and Golden Arrows contributed to my development and growth in soccer and I will always be grateful to her and Golden Arrows.”
Sundowns will undergo a major rebuild next season to plug the gaping hole left by Mosimane after signing no fewer than 12 players in a massive shakeup at the cash-rich club.
