Mamelodi Sundowns today welcomed Steve Komphela who will serve as Senior Coach and will assist Manqoba Mngqithi and the Technical Team.
Steve Komphela said, “I am very excited to be back at Mamelodi Sundowns where I was always inspired and treated with respect and love. I am committed to contributing to the Club achieving its goals in South Africa and on the African Continent.”
Mamelodi Sundowns is currently training in South Africa for the upcoming season and will be leaving in a few days to Austria as part of its pre season preparations.
In October 2022 Mokwena was appointed as the sole head coach, and Komphela, who had been assistant to both Mokwena and Mngqithi, left at the beginning of last season to join Moroka Swallows.
He finished last season at Lamontville Golden Arrows, the club he had joined Sundowns from in 2020.
