The Zimbabwean coach started his new job late last week. He will work with assistant coaches, Fabian Zulu and Chris Rabalago. The nomadic Masomere joins Notwane at a time when the team is beginning to get results after failing to register a win in 12 successive matches. Kofi led the club to three consecutive victories in the league against Jwaneng Comets, TAFIC and BMC before he was shown the door.

'Masomere is the new coach at Notwane and he actually conducted training sessions on Friday,' Zulu told Mmegi Sport. Masomere who once coached Nico United gained respect through his exploits with GU four seasons ago. He is the man who recruited GU skipper Sageby Sandaka who has continued to do well for the defending league champions.
Under his tutelage, the Money Machine played entertaining soccer although they failed to win any silverware. He left the club under a cloud.

He then returned to Botswana to help Nico escape the chop last season. After accomplishing his mission, the vocal coach dumped the Selebi-Phikwe side.

Meanwhile, Motlakase coach Madinda Ndlovu who had been linked with a switch to Toronto has pledged his allegiance to Chouka. 'I am not going anywhere and Notwane never approached me. I understand media reports were that I was on my way to Notwane. That did not go down well with Motlakase supporters because they thought the executive had mistreated me,' Ndlovu told Mmegi Sport. The reports surfaced after Ndlovu missed in action because he had travelled to Zimbabwe to attend his unfair dismissal court case against his former club, Highlanders.
