Extension Gunners' new management partner Chief Ally Kgomongwe has taken 100% of the club affairs for five years, the Lobatse-based side has confirmed.

The Peleng giants announced the partnership with Kgomongwe on Wednesday. "The partnership will see Mr Chief Ally Kgomongwe running the day-to-day activities of the club to take it to its glory days. This includes both youth and ladies teams," the club said in a statement. Kgomongwe is a renowned entrepreneur and football administrator with experience in running football clubs. His latest project was with Eswatini side, Mbabane Highlanders. The South African, who runs Pretoria-based Ally's Counter Force Security, joins Gunners intending to turn things around at the struggling giants.

Speaking to MmegiSport, Gunners' public relations officer, Isaac Mmualefe, said Kgomongwe has penned a five-year deal management contract with Gunners and has aligned his approach with the recommendations of the Botswana Football Association (BFA). "The BFA recommends that we should run our clubs via a company, not societies and this management contract is aligned to that. Kgomongwe will take 100% of the club, and we hope beyond our five-year contract, the club would be in a much better position, especially financially," Mmualefe said.
