Johannesburg – Chippa United has confirmed the appointment of Sandiso Mpengesi as the club’s new general manager on Wednesday.
Sandiso, who is the son of the club’s flamboyant chairman Siviwe, takes over the reins following the departure of the club’s Roy Limongeli, who just had a short spell at the Eastern Cape outfit.
Limongeli was brought in July last year to build stability within the club, however, his work didn’t surprise Siviwe, who showed him the exit door soonest.
The chairman’s favourite son has been with the Chilli Boys since its debut in the league, where he has served in several positions, and most particularly managerial positions.
The club issued a statement, where they welcomed the newly appointed general manager, who promoted Lukanyo Mzinzi as the executive director.
