What happened

Story audio is generated using AI Chippa United have pulled in jobless Brandon Truter to coach the team for their final match of the Betway Premiership season against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

Why it matters

The Chilli Boys’ chair, Siviwe Mpengesi, pressed the panic button after the team lost 2-0 to Golden Arrows at the weekend and decided to change the hands at the wheel again.

Common ground

Truter, who had been without a coaching job for a year since his last assignment with second-tier side Upington City, replaces interim coach Nkosohlanga Dikeni as the seventh mentor of the Gqeberha club this season.
