Heric returns as club technical advisor in a role that he takes over with immediate effect after Luc Eymael's initial appointment earlier this month was rescinded.
He will work with head coach Siyabulela Gwambi for the seven league games remaining along with the Nedbank Cup final against fellow strugglers TTM.
"Vladislav is a person that is familiar with the success of our brand having helped us with the GladAfrica Championship in the 2013/14 season. We do welcome him back to the club, where his experience will play a pivotal role for our technical team. We are looking at finishing in a respectable position in this campaign," says club boss Siviwe Mpengesi.
Heric's last job was with Cape Town Spurs but he left due to covid-19 related complications and will now be in his third spell with Chippa – who have been going through a concoction of changes in their technical team this season.
They started off with Lehlohonolo Seema then attempted to bring Luc Eymael before appointing Dan Malesela and then again appointed Eymael before backtracking a day later after which the inexperienced Gwambi took over.
Gwambi now has a shoulder to lean on in Heric – who led Chippa for the last 13 games of the 2013/14 season as they won promotion back to the PSL and has worked in South Africa for 15 years.
