Simba Bhora have confirmed the departure of head coach Joel Luphahla.
The club announced that they will not renew Luphahla’s contract when it expires on 31 December.
Luphahla joined Simba ahead of the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season and guided the team to a third-place finish.
The 2024 league champions confirmed his departure in a statement, saying:
Simba Bhora Football Club and the Head Coach Joel Luphahla have reached a consensus and agreed to mutually part ways effective 31 December, 2025.
The coach joined the club at a time when all hope was lost, with key players and the technical staff having moved to other clubs. He assembled a new team altogether that was a force to reckon with and finished third in the 2025 Castle Premier Soccer League.
The coach exhibited great qualities of professionalism and dedication to his work which subsequently caught the hearts of many supporters, executive and the board who fell in love with Coach Joel. His bond and the relationship with the players was truly amazing.
We would want to take this opportunity to publicly appreciate Coach Joel not only for his professionalism and hard work, but also for putting a smile on many Simba Bhora FC supporters who were in despair at the beginning of 2025 season.
Simba Bhora Family wishes the coach a brighter future in his coaching career.
