Chippa United have announced Morgan Mammila as the club’s new Sporting Director.
Mammila has worked for the Chilli Boys on a number of previous occasions, most recently as technical director after a brief spell as head coach.
He was brought to Chippa this term in an undefined capacity before being named as one of the assistant coaches prior to the 4-1 Betway Premiership win over Magesi on Wednesday.
A club statement read: “Chippa United FC is pleased to officially announce Morgan Mammila as the club’s first-ever Football Sporting Director.
“Mammila, who rejoined the club last month without an official announcement, as we have been working behind the scenes to carefully reintegrate him into the football environment after a period away from the game. Following a thorough evaluation, we have now formalised his appointment to lead the club’s sporting operations.
“In his new role, Mammila will be responsible for overseeing the technical team, driving player recruitment, and strengthening the developmental and reserve team structures to create a clear pathway for young talent. His appointment is a strategic step in ensuring continuity and alignment across all footballing aspects of the club, from the development level to the first team.
“Additionally, we confirm that Thabo September will continue as Head Coach, with Coach Mabhuti as an Assistant Coach. While our reserve team has faced challenges this season, the club remains committed to identifying and nurturing local talent, a key objective that Mammila will oversee as part of his mandate.
“Chippa United FC fully supports Mammila in his new role and looks forward to the positive impact of his leadership. We wish him all the best as he embarks on this journey to build a stronger football foundation for the club.”
