LESS than 72 hours after he was relieved of his duties at Golden Eagles, Joel Lupahla has resurfaced at former club Highlanders, where he is now one of the assistant coaches.
Lupahla left Northern Region Division One side, Eagles on mutual consent on Monday and will now be one of Mandla Mpofu’s assistants, alongside Bekithemba Ndlovu.
Highlanders secretary, Morgen Dube, also announced the appointment of Ronald Moyo as the club’s substantive chief executive officer.
The youthful Moyo has been working on an acting capacity, since the departure of the long-serving Nhlanhla Dube last year.
“Following a recent rise in the team’s performance, your ExCom has reviewed the works of the Mandla Mpofu Staff.
“We have resolved to support the coaches and allow them to carry their mandate of competing for the ultimate prize in the league.
“Following their request to beef up the bench, and have a full complement, Joel Lupahla has been brought in as the second assistant coach,” wrote Dube.
Bosso’s performances have improved in their last two outings.
They thumped Herentals 4-0 at Barbourfields two weeks ago, before playing out an exciting 1-1 draw against rivals CAPS United at the National Sports Stadium last Sunday.
Dube also explained Moyo’s appointment as Bosso’s new substantive CEO.
“After a long search that followed adverts for the vacant CEO position, we have managed to fill in the slot.
“After going through a rigorous exercise of screening and looking at a number of club immediate and long-term needs, we were indeed convinced that from all the best men we had at our disposal one had to take the crown.
“In that regard, Ronald Moyo has been identified,” said Dube.
