According to our informant, Johnson’s current assistant coach Kwanele Kopo is set for a return to Matsatsantsa’s development structures, while Willem Jackson could reunite with Johnson after their time together at Platinum Stars.
Kopo has been Johnson’s assistant since the beginning of the 2013/14 season but he could be returning to his old job of working with United's youth. Not so, according to Johnson.
“No, I’m not searching for a new assistant,” Johnson says.
However, snl24.com/kickoff is aware that technical team changes are imminent at the club.
“There has also been talk of [goalkeeper coach] Alex Heredia playing more of a role as an assistant rather than a keeper coach, but nothing is finalised,” the source adds.
