Birds new coach komphelasteve details reasons to leave Downs New Moroka_Swallows head coach Steve Komphela says former club Masandawana did not simply accept his exit, and questioned his reasons.
Komphela, promoted at Sundowns in a coaching reshuffle in October last year to “first team coach”, making him effectively the No2 to sole head coach Rulani Mokwena as Manqoba Mngqithi was demoted to “senior coach”, surprisingly left the Brazilians last week. along with his new Birds chair, David Mogashoa, Komphela detailed the process of informing Downs’ management of his decision to take up a head coaching role at Swallows.
“If you were a man of good morals you would definitely say, ‘No but I owe explanation to this person because they’ve been extremely kind to you’. “Which is the most painful, because you fully understand as you cut the throat, when blood spills it does not only splatter on your shoes – there are a whole lot of bystanders, people who appreciate the brand who are likely to be affected. So, you have to be careful when you do that – it has to be done with dignity and I think it was done in a very dignified manner.”“Not a fight, not understood either.
Komphela said the meeting with Mogashoa to conclude the deal to join Swallows was held on the coach’s 56th birthday on July 1.Swallows’ chair was asked to clarify his change in direction, having announced on an earlier show that last season’s caretaker coach, who steered the team from relegation danger to eighth place, Musa Nyatama, would be the Birds’ head coach in 2023-24. Nyatama will work as Komphela’s assistant.
