Nyatama was parachuted into coaching by former coach Dylan Kerr and the Swallows management after a number of resignations within the technical team.

The 35-year-old first stepped in as interim coach when Kerr was waiting for his work permit for the current season.

Nyatama would then be tasked with leading the Swallows technical team when Kerr was sacked in September following a series of poor results.

Now, Nyatama has revealed that he will be enrolling for the SAFA D Licence which is the same as the one Chippa United interim coach Morgan Mammila is holding.

Furthermore, Nyatama said making a permanent switch into coaching doesn’t really depend on him but the Swallows management, and all he wants to do is to equip himself with knowledge.

“I will be starting my SAFA D coaching programme on 18 November, and I’m looking forward to learning more about coaching and be able to come up with better tactics so that we can do better when the league resumes,” said Nyatama to reporters.

“In terms of taking the coaching seat permanently, I have no control over it. The decision will be made by management. As an individual, I have to stay prepared and adapt to the coaching levels of the game,” added Nyatama.
