Lehlohonolo Seema has been jobless since he parted ways with Chippa United last week. This contract termination was due to a poor run of results. The former Bloemfontein Celtic coach has now found a new job after a short spell with the Chilli Boys.
Black Leopards have announced the arrival of Orlando Pirates legend Lehlohonolo Seema at the Limpopo-based club.
The 40-year-old tactician has now been added to Lidoda Duvha’s new-look technical team. As the club looks to improve its results in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
The former Lesotho international and Leopards legend Morgan Shivambu will serve as the assistant coaches under club head coach Dylan Kerr.
“Big boost for Lidoda Duvha technical team with the addition of Lehlohonolo Seema. Welcome Lehlohonolo Seema.” A club statement read.
Chippa dismissed Seema a few days after the Chilli Boys recorded their third successive defeat in the league when they lost 3-1 to AmaZulu FC in Durban on 20th December.
The former Bloemfontein Celtic captain was initially replaced by controversial Belgian coach Luc Eymael at the Eastern Cape-based side.
However, Chippa withdrew their decision to appoint Eymael after a public outcry over their announcement. This following his alleged racist remarks in Tanzania in July 2020.
The Chilli Boys have since re-appointed local tactician Dan Malesela as their new head coach after his departure from TS Galaxy.
Seema will be hoping to help Kerr guide Leopards out of the relegation zone. As Lidoda Divha are standing 15th on the league standings with five points from eight matches.
The Mafeteng-born mentor was able to steer Chippa to safety after joining the club last July. He replaced Rhulani Mokwena.
The Chill Boys finished 11th on the league standings having recorded two wins, two defeats and two draws in the bio-bubble under Seema.
However, Chippa struggled this season, winning just one of their opening eight matches. While they have registered five defeats and two draws in the process.
Seema’s first game on the Leopards dugout will be against Lamontville Golden Arrows at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on 5th January.
Lidoda Duvha are undefeated in their last three league games against Arrows having recorded two wins and one draw.
