Lehlohonolo Seema has returned to helm at Sekhukhune United, appointed as coach of the club for second time after the abrupt departure of German coach Peter Hyballa last weekend.

Seema had been in charge of Sekhukhune for half of last season but two games from the end of the campaign was suspended by the club after a dispute with management, and then later fired.

Hyballa was appointed in June to take over but he left the club just hours after their MTN8 defeat to Cape Town city last Saturday.

The German did not coach the team in the cup game, amid accusations of improper behaviour. Instead it was perennial caretaker McDonald Makhubedu in charge of the home loss to City

Seema has since been re-hired with Sekhukhune making his appointment official on Thursday.

Former Basotho international Seema, who is 44, started coaching at Bloemfontein Celtic in 2016 and has also had spells at Chippa United (three times), Black Leopards, Lamontville Golden Arrows, Polokwane City and Sekhukhune.

He is to be assisted by Kaitano Tembo, whose last job was at Richards Bay. The 54-year-old former Zimbabwe international defender, had a 12-match spell as Sekhukhune coach two seasons ago.

Makhubedu has been named as the club’s new sporting director.
