Morgan Mammila Wants His Chippa United Side to Be the Brighton of South African Football

• Morgan Mammila has urged his Chippa United side to be as ruthless as Brighton & Hove Albion
• Chippa United are enjoying a great start to the season under Mammila and are currently in fourth
• Brighton are flying high in the English Premier League and have only lost one game out of five

Morgan Mammila certainly has a way with words.

The Chippa United coach has often left fans in stitches with his pre-, and post-match comments.

As noted by Goal, he once claimed that his side's fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns was bigger than the Soweto Derby, and now he's topped that with his recent comments.

Mammila left fans bemused after his side’s victory over SuperSport United in the DStv Premiership when he touched on how he wanted to shape them into a ruthless side.

“If we have to be a ruthless team, let us be Brighton of the English Premier League. That team says if Manchester (United) doesn’t want to chase Manchester City, let’s go behind Manchester (City).
