Kaitano Tembo set to join Sekhukhune after Da Gama exit | African News

Former SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo is set to join Sekhukhune United after the club parted ways with Owen Da Gama on Wednesday. 

FARPost last week revealed that Tembo’s move to Babina Noko was all but sealed. The former Zimbabwe international recently snubbed his boyhood club Dynamos of Zimbabwe with an agreement to join Sekhukhune United practically done. 

Matsatsantsa sacked Tembo in March after spending 23 years with them both as player and coach.

Tembo has been jobless since leaving the Pretoria side. He comes in as a direct replacement of Da Gama, who was roped in at the end of April to work with Donald Makhubedu as co-coach to strongly wind up their maiden season after struggling in the second round. 

Tembo joined the Pretoria-based club as a player in 1999 before transitioning into the team’s coaching staff. He worked as an assistant to Gavin Hunt, Stuart Baxter and Eric Tinkler before taking over the head coach’s position in 2018. The highlight of his tenure was winning the MTN8 title in 2019.

Harare giants Dynamos had hoped to lure him to the Zimbabwean capital following the suspension of their coach Tonderayi Ndiraya. Ndiraya has since been reinstated.

Tembo distanced himself from the club: “I distance myself from Dynamos; there is no such thing.”

Asked about his next destination, he said: “I’m still jobless.”
