Chippa United coach Norman Mapeza resigned on Monday night, just less than two days after steering the team back to winning ways
While no-one was immediately available to confirm the news, TimesLIVE can reveal that club bosses and Mapeza were locked in a meeting which took hours as they tried to convince him to stay.
However, the meeting failed to resolve the impasse, which is believed to stem from a misunderstanding over the duties of the technical staff. Long-serving Chippa assistant coach Mbuyiselo Sambu will take over the reins as the team prepares for a league clash against Bidvest Wits away from home on Saturday.Mapeza resigned just after steering the team to a 1-0 victory over AmaZulu, breaking a five-game winless streak that piled pressure on him.
