The former Bloemfontein Celtic playmaker has been appointd as the Brazilains new Under-15 head coach.

Mayambela joins the Masandawana after parting ways with Cape Town City FC, where he served as a development coach. Following CT City’s relegation from the top tier to the Motsepe Foundation Championship last season, Mayambela made the move to Sundowns.

At Sundowns, he will collaborate with youth coach Sam Mbatha at Bafana Ba Style, with high hopes of developing the next generation of football stars. The coaching duo was recently seen at the Gauteng Development League (GDL) matches held on Saturday, 23 August 2025, at Christ Church Preparatory School and College in Midrand, Johannesburg.
