Chambeshi led the Kgatleng side to their first ever Premier League title in 2009. His arrival puts to rest speculation over Madinda Ndlovu's stay after the Zimbabwean led the side to back-to-back titles.Mmegi Sport spotted Chambeshi in town on Saturday, and although the Zambian denied a deal was imminent, Chiefs' spokesperson, Clifford Mogomotsi confirmed the re-union yesterday.

Chambeshi who has been coaching in Zambia will lead Magosi for the next season with a difficult task of emulating his predecessor Ndlovu. Asked why they let Ndlovu leave despite a good season, Mogomotsi said the former Township Rollers' coach had been offered a deal which he had not signed. Reports link Ndlovu with a move back to Rollers.'I can't tell why he did not sign. We offered him a deal, but he was delaying. We had to move on,' Mogomotsi said.

He said Chambeshi was expected to carry on from where Ndlovu left.Chiefs are reportedly ready to invade the transfer market with top names linked with the club. Former Rollers marksman, Onalethata 'OT' Tshekiso, nippy Nico midfielder, Topo Piet and striker Bonolo Fraiser are close to a Chiefs switch. However, Mogomotsi said negotiations for new players are underway with no confirmed deal.'We hope to conclude deals when the new coach arrives,' Mogomotsi said.The league champions have also brought in former TAFIC chairperson, Leviet Ntwaagae, as acting general manager.
