Musa Nyatama named new head coach of Upington City
This news comes just a day after Abram Mongoya confirmed his resignation just six games into the new Motsepe Foundation Championship season.
Nyatama has reportedly penned a two-year contract, and he joins Upington after a short spell as head coach of Chippa United, having initially arrived at the club as an assistant coach to Sinethemba Badela.
Mongoya was the subject to an internal disciplinary process after his reported "gross misconduct" for taking up a role with the Lesotho national team without approval from Upington.
Nyatama's previous coaching experience includes a spell as caretaker coach for Moroka Swallows.
He was previously linked with Upington City and now takes over the team in sixth place on the league standings with three wins, one draw and two losses.
A club statement read: "Upington City FC is proud to welcome Musa Nyatama as our new Head Coach!
"A leader with experience, passion, and vision — ready to guide The Citizens into a new chapter.
"Let's give Coach Nyatama a warm welcome, Citizens!"
