South African tactician, Steve Komphela, has secured a new managerial role in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) after recently leaving Moroka Swallows.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns manager left his role at the Dube Birds last month amid reports about the club's financial turmoil.

Komphela was initially suspended by Moroka Swallows for several weeks, with Musa Nyatama being left in charge of the team on an interim basis.

The 56-year-old coach has decided to return to his former club, Golden Arrows, after the sacking of Mabhuti Khenyeza.

Khenyeza was on an 11-match losing streak before being sacked, seeing the team drop from third to 12th on the DStv Premiership table, according to a report by iDiskiTimes.

Golden Arrows released an official statement via their handle on X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the appointment of Komphela as their new gaffer.

"Lamontville Golden Arrows Welcomes back Coach Steve Komphela, who is no stranger to the club, the values, and culture of the club. We look forward to his knowledge and guidance as we seek to finish the season strong. Welcome back, Steve💚💛🏹," the club stated.

Golden Arrows' last game in the league ended in a 1-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday (March 5).

Reports also have it that the former Kaizer Chiefs manager has held his first training session with the Backheel Boys as they prepare for the next league game against Polokwane City on Sunday, March 10.
