A deal abroad is in the works for Steve Komphela, with the indications that the Golden Arrows mentor could be set to be lost to the PSL in the new season.

Sources close to Simba have confirmed that talks are at an advanced stage with Komphela, with the only thing left being the former Kaizer Chiefs mentor to sign on the dotted line.

“The discussions have been successful between Simba and Steve Komphela to become the club’s head coach. The club is confident that Komphela will sign, and they have since stopped pursuing other coaches, as a result. There should be an update in the next few days,” said the source.

Attempts have been made to get a comment from Simba board member Mulamu Nghambi, but he is yet to respond at the time of publishing.
