Golden Arrows appoint Ncikazi after Dladla departure

Golden Arrows have parted ways with head coach Pitso Dladla and appointed Mandla Ncikazi, returning him to the Durban club after his departure from Orlando Pirates. Arrows said the split with Dladla was mutual; the change comes after a difficult start to the league season, with the team winning just once in its first eight matches. Ncikazi previously led Arrows to fourth place in the 2020/21 league campaign and brings extensive familiarity with the club, along with experience on Pirates’ coaching staff. His immediate task is to improve results and restore consistency.
