A Briefly News source said the coach, who is in his second stint at Arrows, could leave the Natal club.

The source said:

"The coach joined the club almost halfway through the season, so it's tough to say if he will leave, but we all know how things change in football."

Since taking over at Arrows mid-season, Komphela guided the side to a point away from a top-eight finish in the PSL.
