New Supersport head coach Eric Tinkler has opted to keep former Zimbabwean international Kaitano Tembo.

Tembo has frequently taken charge on an interim basis when Stuart Baxter was unavailable and eventually took up the Bafana Bafana head coach post.

Tembo , a long-serving member of the Supersport technical team was overlooked for the job but Tinkler wants him to be part of his technical team.

Speaking at his unveiling Tinkler revealed why he joined Supersport despite a good season with Cape Town City.

“For me, it became a no-brainer to come to SuperSport, that’s beside the fact that they’re an extremely ambitious and successful club – they’ve won league titles.

“I’ve said this before, I’m an ambitious coach, I want to achieve things and I see myself doing that here said, Tinkler.
