Celtic race to sign Letsoaka

08 December 2015 - 02:26 By Tshepang Mailwane

Serame Letsoaka says Bloemfontein Celtic called him immediately after his resignation letter was posted on social media by Golden Arrows last week. Celtic reacted quickly to Letsoaka's surprise parting with Arrows, despite having the CVs of many other coaches eager to take over when Clinton Larsen quit after a fallout with management.Letsoaka, who was building something special at Arrows, was officially named yesterday by Celtic on a three-and-a-half-year deal.Letsoaka said he could not be happier about returning to the club, having previously been assistant to the late Styles Phumo 15 years ago."I was here 15 years ago and the previous owner, Jimmy Augousti, always said he wants to see me coach this team one day and it's always been in my mind. It's an honour to be here."..
