“Magesi Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of John Maduka as the team’s new Head Coach.
“Maduka joins Dikwena Tša Meetse after a thorough search. The former Malawian international will start his new job with immediate effect,” read a statement from Magesi on Thursday.
Maduka was last in charge of Royal AM before the club was dissolved midway through last season, following club boss Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize’s financial troubles with SARS.
Maduka will be aiming to improve on Da Gama’s 13th place finish last season and also defend the Carling Black Label Knockout.
