However, Chippa United decided to withdraw Eymael’s appointment following an outcry from both football fans around the country and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Eastern Cape.

Chippa Mpengesi had called an urgent meeting on Wednesday morning where Eymael’s appointment and future was discussed.

And the management eventually succumbed to the pressure from across the country to release Eymael from his contract with Chippa United.

THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Chippa have decided not to continue with Eymael’s appointment, who will proceed to return to Belgium.

It is clear that Eymael himself requires further time to clear his name. He has reassured the club that he will, in his own capacity take legal action concerning his rights, including the dissemination of the offending media clip through his own lawyers.

We, as a club, maintain our stance against racism of any form and wish to make it clear that our intended appointment of Eymael would not have happened were the allegations against him have been validated in any form.
