Jwaneng Galaxy head coach Morena Ramoreboli has been appointed as the new caretaker coach of the Botswana national team.
Ramoreboli’s appointment to the hot seat comes after French coach Didier Gomes left the Zebras to join Libyan club Al Ahli.
Ramoreboli, who is among the few South African coaches coaching on the continent, has made a name for himself in the Botswana Premier League, winning several titles with Galaxy.

He was also in the dugout when Jwaneng Galaxy shocked the football world by knocking Soweto giants Orlando Pirates out of the CAF Champions League last season.
The 43-year-old was in charge of Bafana Bafana in last year’s Cosafa Cup, guiding the team to a third-place finish.
The Botswana Football Association confirmed Ramoreboli’s appointment in a statement, saying they had appointed the South African on an interim basis.
“The Botswana Football Association wishes to inform members of the public and the football community about the appointment of Mr Morena Ramoreboli as the Botswana Senior Men’s National Team interim head coach,” they said in the statement.
