Relegated Black Leopards have quickly moved to reshuffle their technical department by enlisting the services of well-travelled former Bush Bucks coach Eddie May as their new technical advisor.
May, who has been training the Lidoda Duvha squad for the past few days, fills the post that was temporarily occupied by Paul Dolezar during the unsuccessful play-offs campaign that eventually doomed Leopards to the First Division.
May, who has coached Leopards in the past, was last in the country with left Bush Bucks, but he left under controversial circumstances after spending only a few months with Imbabala.
The veteran English gaffer jetted into the country on Saturday and immediately drove to Limpopo to watch the Limpopo Challenge.
Prior to his arrival at Leopards May has been back in his native England without a club.
The 65 year-old, who has plied his coaching career in the lower divisions of England, has also coached in Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Norway, Wales, Zimbabwe and Finland.
Meanwhile, Leopards, who have taken six players off the transfer list, appear to be close to signing Malawian highly rated striker Grant Lungu.
Grant, who plays for the Chipololopo Boys, arrived in Leopards camp on Wednesday for contractual talks.

The Malawian almost signed for Santos last year but the move fell through after failure to agree on a fee.
