Thabo September could be in line for a return to SuperSport United after departing Chippa United. Although his departure has not been officially confirmed by the Chilli Boys, the 42-year-old has already relocated back to Gauteng.
His contract will not be renewed by Chippa, despite his good relationship with the club chairman, Siviwe 'Chippa' Mpengesi. United finished 11th in the Betway Premiership standings and narrowly missed out on a top eight spot by just two points.

It is not yet clear why the Gqeberha-based club chose not to retain September, but it is believed that the former defender is not short of admirers ahead of the next season.
'Right now, coach Thabo is back in Gauteng and he's exploring a couple of options before he commits,' a source told Phakaaathi.
'He did well at Chippa and other clubs have shown interest. The good thing is that he leaves the club on good terms, and his relationship with Chippa is still good. A couple of teams are monitoring him as a potential addition to their technical team.'
It remains to be seen whether the former Matsatsantsa a Pitori legend will return to his beloved club or take on a new challenge elsewhere, as teams in both the Premier Division and Motsepe Foundation Championship have shown interest in his services.

Kaizer Chiefs XI next season with FIVE brand new signings?
Kaizer Chiefs have made a huge splash in the winter transfer window. Is this a potential starting XI for the Glamour Boys? The board has added new options in all departments except the goalkeeping position. Is that the next problem to solve? Chiefs target Serbian-based flop striker Bvuma; Monyane, Miguel, Dortley, Shinga; Cele, Velebayi, Chislett, Lilepo; Ighodaro. Former Orlando Pirates full-back duo Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane would add experience in defence. 25-year-old Nkanyiso Shinga is another new option at left-back, after spending seven years in Portugal. 31-year-old Thibang 'Cafu' Phete is a versatile operator who can play as the hard man in midfield or in defence. 22-year-old winger Asanele Velebayi has been a long-standing target, while 26-year-old playmaker Ethan Chislett returns to South Africa after Port Vale got relegated to the fourth tier of English football. Etiosa Ighodaro and the relatively unknown Flavio Silva could bolster the attack. Chiefs leave for the Netherlands on Thursday, 03 July, and the club is expected to announce the new signings by that date.

Image: Samuel Shivambu/BackpagePix The behind-closed-doors (no fans in the stadium) clash with Utrecht was initially going to be the first match of the tour. However, Chiefs face Vitesse first on 08 July. What's also slightly underwhelming is that none of the traditional three giants, Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV Eindhoven, are on the itinerary. The last time that none of those sides won the Dutch Eredivisie was when Twente became champions in 2009-2010.
