Returning Mpote faces Rollers test :: Mmegi Online

Former Zebras' head coach, Mogomotsi 'Teenage' Mpote, is set to make his return to club football this evening as he leads his new side, Nico United, against log leaders Township Rollers at the National Stadium.

Rollers, Mpote's former side, stand between him and his first three points in over 500 days, dating back to his last role as the head coach of a local side in a league match. Appointed as Majombolo's head coach this week, this marks his first club job since September 2022 when the Botswana Football Association (BFA) appointed him Zebras coach.

Mpote's immediate task is to lift 15th-placed Nico from the relegation zone. The 'Green and Yellow' are flirting with relegation halfway through the league campaign, having accumulated just 10 points. Going into the weekend assignment, they are on the back of a poor run of form with only six points from a possible 15.
