Black Leopards have yet again made amendments to their technical team in what will be the third change this season.
Leopards have been able to remain in the Motsepe Foundation Championship after they bought the status of Cape Town All Stars which allowed them to continue in the same league despite their relegation last season.

Lidoda Duvha started the new season with Spanish coach Alejandro Dorado in charge.
Dorado – who has previously worked as Rafa Benitez’s assistant at Dalian Professional in China – didn’t last long getting sacked within two months after a slow start to the season.
Assistant coach Peter Mponda then took over as Leopards’ head coach in September after Dorado was fired but only lasted until the end of the year.
The Malawian recorded seven wins, six defeats, and one draw through his time in charge pushing the club to within seven points of leaders Orbit College with 13 games to play.
This website can confirm that Mponda is already back home in Malawi where he will take over as head coach at Silver Strikers.
Solly Luvhengo – who arrived back at Leopards for his third stint after Dorado was shown the door – will now take over but will have former Ghana international John Paintsil joining him as the new member of the technical team.
It is not clear what role Paintsil will play at the club but there have been suggestions that he will be the fitness coach.

The 42-year-old also worked as an assistant to Steve Komphela at Kaizer Chiefs.
