The Bafana Bafana analyst joined the Chilli Boys after spending last season at Sekhukhune United where he was part of a team that guided the club to a fourth place Betway Premiership finish.
Mali made a surprise move to Chippa but has now left with the team fighting a relegation battle in last place on the league standings with nine points from 15 game.
He gave no reason for his exit but expects Chippa to avoid relegation this season.
Mali posted: “After 6 months as a Sporting Director at a club that means so much to me, Chippa United, I’d like to officially announce I’ve officially left the club.
“I’d like to thank the Mpengesi Family for the trust and belief in my talent firstly as a young rural boy, given my first professional chance by this club and again returning to lead this amazing club 8 years later, thanks to the players for the respect and faith in my leadership, the amazing staff of the club for the great professionalism throughout, the supporters who stood by us at all times, my family for the support and everyone who showed faith in a young talent like me to lead and be the face for the next generation of football leaders.
