Mangwiro took Orapa to the Orange FA Cup final last season but was relieved of his duties following a string of poor results. In a statement, Orapa said Gadimang has the right pedigree to turn around results at the club. \u201cGadimang\u2019s appointment as interim head coach will undoubtedly bring about new perspectives and strategies providing a platform for him to showcase his managerial prowess and instil a fresh sense of motivation within the team,\u201d a statement from the club reads.<\/p>\n<p>The club further said Gadimang will appoint his own assistant coach. \u201cAs Gadimang assumes the position of interim head coach, his focus extends to finding his assistant to complement his coaching style and enhance the club&#8217;s dynamics.\u201d the statement further said.
