Marumo Gallants hire fitness coach Chyna Mokaila

Marumo Gallants FC have bolstered their coaching panel by hiring Botswana’s top-notch fitness and conditioning coach Chyna Mokaila.

The club has added Chyna Mokaila to the technical bench as a fitness and conditioning coach ahead of the forthcoming 2022/23 DStv Premiership season in South Africa.

Former Botswana’s Zebras fitness trainer has joined Gallants from Botswana Premier League giants Township Rollers.

The former Botswana Premier League champions have wished the qualified aerobics instructor the best in the next phase of his career in South Africa’s top-flight league.

“Chyna Mokaila, who joins South African side Marumo Gallants, says he is grateful for his time at Popa as he bids farewell to the Township Rollers family, having served as a physical fitness trainer/conditioning coach for eight years,” the Gaborone-based side wrote.

Mokaila, who served under several coaches in his career in Botswana, has since bid farewell to Rollers family as he relocates to South Africa.

“Let me take this chance to officially let my fans, friends and family know of my move to South Africa.  It is with pleasure to let y’all know that I will be taking a new journey in the football world as I will be moving to a new home, country and football club. I will be Joining Marumo Gallants FC based in Polokwane in the South African Football Premier League. I will be joining the team as the Head Fitness conditioning Coach,” he said.

The fitness enthusiast has since reunited with coach Romain Folz who joined Gallants from Rollers earlier this year.

The Polokwane-based Marumo caused a furore recently after deciding against renewing the contract of coach Dan Malesela, despite that he had ensured the team’s survival from relegation in the DStv Premiership last season.

Marumo opted to appoint the well-travelled 32-year-old Folz as the new man in charge.

The Polokwane-based team has since stepped up pre-season training seeking better fortunes in the next campaign.
