Following the sacking of Daine Klate at Chippa United, it was a shock when the club announced that Mammila, who lacks experience in coaching, would take over on an interim basis while the club searches for a new coach.

Seeing the criticism of his appointment, the former Baroka FC CEO then revealed that he has coaching badges, a SAFA D-License, but that wasn’t enough for people to stop questioning his coaching abilities.

According to him, he has a two-year contract as a Technical Director at the Eastern Cape-based club.

Having won all his first three games in charge – including beating Kaizer Chiefs – many are wondering if he has been appointed as a permanent coach or if the club will still bring in a new coach.
