However, the former defender remains confident he will still be in charge of the Chilli Boys next season.
“No, we have not started having discussions, not yet. My contract ends now at the end of the season, but I have a two-year option. So, we will [discuss it], but the signs of staying are there. We haven’t really sat and discussed the contract,” September was quoted by Sportswire.com.
Despite the silence from club management, a strong finish to the season—especially a spot in the top eight—will certainly boost September’s chances of staying on.
Chippa United currently sit eighth on the Betway Premiership table with 30 points from 26 games, level with Kaizer Chiefs (9th) and Marumo Gallants (10th) in the race for a place in next season’s MTN8 Cup.
With just two matches left to play, September has set a realistic target to secure a top-eight finish.
“We need to be as professional as we can to finish the season on a good note. I’m looking forward to that. It is possible to get into the Top Eight—we have two games, and if we get four points, then it’s possible,” he added.
Chippa will host Mamelodi Sundowns on 14 May at Buffalo City Municipality Stadium, before wrapping up the campaign away to Gallants on 17 May in a potentially decisive encounter.
