Former Bloemfontein Celtic CEO Khumbulani Konco has returned to local football, after being appointed Chief Operations Officer at Chippa United.
Konco left Bloemfontein Celtic last year after 20 years at the former DStv Premiership outfit.
Now he has made a return to the game, after being unveiled by Chippa on Wednesday in the new role.
“Chippa United FC are proud to announce the appointment of Former Bloemfontein Celtic FC C.E.O.
Khumbulani Konco,” the club’s statement read.
“Khumbulani has been appointed to fill the role of club Chief Operations Officer (C.0.0.), following the position being left vacant by the promotion of club Executive Director, Mr. Lukanyo Mzinzi in January 2022.
“Khumbulani requires no introduction within the football fraternity, being a veteran of over 20 (twenty) years with Bloemfontein Celtic FC where he rose through the ranks from player to C.E.O. and furthermore established himself by later serving on the Executive Committee of the Premier Soccer League as its youngest member at the time.
“The Chairman of Chippa United FC expresses his best wishes for Khumbulani in this critical position and his desire is for the sterling work that he has displayed in management of the first team’s affairs, development of young talent and brand promotion over the years to continue under his tenure with the Chilli Boys.”
