Chippa United seem to have a tough time finding and keeping a suitable coach. Over the last week, the team has been dealing with coach drama after sacking Dan "Dance" Masilela due to an underwhelming performance at the start of the Dstv Premiership.

Recent reports have cited that Masilela however has been brought back on to the team after it seems the team has given up on signing Belgium football coach Luc Eymael who also came with a fair share of drama last week.
