Cvetkovic returns to France, Mihayo back to business! (official)

Between TP Mazembe and Dragan Cvetkovic, it’s already over. Appointed technical director of Ravens in Lubumbashi last January and then head coach in March, the Franco-Serbian technician will not go beyond his contract which ends on December 31. The TPM formalized the information on Wednesday.

«Following the family problems posed by the coach, chairman Moïse Katumbi and coach Dragan did not even consider a possible extension of the contract. A delicate situation which marks the end of a collaboration crowned by a national title. President Moïse wished a speedy recovery to the coach’s mother-in-law, forcing the latter’s wife to stay in Corsica», Indicated the Congolese club. Irony of fate: Cvetkovic will be replaced by Pamphile Mihayo, to whom he had precisely succeeded following the elimination in the quarterfinals of the last Champions League.

He will be assisted by Isaac Kasongo as assistant coach“, Specified the TPM who thus respects his word since he had indicated in March, at the time of the dismissal of Mihayo, that it was only one goodbye and that the club will have”still need his services” in the future. Before making his return, Mihayo will be very busy in the coming weeks as he will take on the role of assistant to DR Congo coach Florent Ibenge on the occasion of the CHAN 2020 (January 16-February 7).
