Thabo September appointed to SuperSport United coaching team
Retired defender Thabo September has been appointed as a second assistant coach at the DSTV Premiership club SuperSport United.
September will also be part of the club’s technical team.
In a statement on Thursday, Matsantsanta head coach Kaitano Tembo said September will be tasked with bringing young players into the senior team.
“He has joined the first team as a second assistant coach and works as well with our reserve team. This will help us bridge the gap between the first team and the reserve team in terms of having an identical philosophy from a playing and development point of view.
“Our objective is to prepare our young players for first team football and Thabo will play a crucial role in that regard.”
September retired from professional football in 2016 during Stuart Baxter’s time at the helm.
“Working with the first team for the past two years has been a huge learning experience and if you look at our technical team it is people that have played the game or have been in the game for more than 20 years, so I take a lot from them,” he said.
The Knysna-born player has played under coaches such as Pitso Mosimane, Gavin Hunt, Cavin Johnson, Gordon Igesund, and Stuart Baxter.
“Being a second assistant coach at the first team is a huge responsibility that the head coach, our CEO Mr Stan Matthews, and the board members have put on me. I know with the help of Kaitano and the rest of the technical team and the players it’s a job I will excel on,” September said.
