Thabo September explains decision to snub Durban City

Thabo September explains decision to snub Durban City

Thabo September most recently employed at Chippa United, where he held a number of roles including assistant coach and interim co-head coach.

He started his coaching journey at SuperSport United in 2020, after hanging up his boots, where he worked with current Durban City boss Gavin Hunt.

September was reportedly offered the opportunity to link up with his former mentor in the Betway Premiership this season but has opted rather to turn his attentions on producing a club that is capable of self-sufficiency.

September explained to FARPost: "I own an ABC team in the Eastern Cape, Komani United.

"It's a project that I started while I was still at Chippa United. It's something that really can change the area, the community and that will benefit the country in the long run.

"Before I even turned pro, I completed my Diploma in Sports Management. My dad owned an ABC team back in the day, and I was part of that. Turning pro, I observed how things are done professionally, learned what needs to be there for the players, and how to make a team work together and manage a team. I worked at SuperSport in the marketing space, so I've touched almost all areas of football."

"[It's a model] where you work on development. You develop your own players and sell players to bigger teams, you grow through that, reinvest the money into the club, and make sure that the club grows," he added.
