KickOff.com can reveal that trigger-happy Chippa United boss Siviwe Mpengesi has parted ways with Vladislav Heric just six games into his latest stint with the club.
Heric s departure from Chippa comes as a shock considering that out of the five league games he took charge he won two, drew two and lost one.
He won the club eight points from a possible 15, which is a third of the 25 they have now sitting second from bottom. He also lost in the Nedbank Cup final against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzinhandila.
The Serbian won games against Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch then drew with Golden Arrows and Black Leopards.
They finished the group engagements with four wins, one defeat, and a draw and topped the pool with 13 points, two more than the reigning champions, the Red Devils.
Simba will hope to maintain the solidity they showed in the group stage, where they only conceded two goals and kept four clean sheets as goalkeepers Aishi Manula and Beno Kakolanya were used between the sticks.
Mozambique winger Luis Miquissone - who scored a clinical goal against Al Ahly in matchday three to earn Simba a surprise 1-0 win - is expected to be the club s creative brain during the knockout stage.

Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila coach Dylan Kerr said his side defended like heroes after their 1-0 win over Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday.
Kerr s side took an early lead through Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo s deflected strike but Chippa got on top of the men from Limpopo in the second half, however, were not able to capitalise.
And the Malta-born tactician admitted his men had to dig deep. Credit to everybody, Kerr told SuperSport TV.
Credit to Vlad and his team. It s a cup final. Ýou ve got to dig in deep. We made mistakes in the second half to give them counter-attacks but then we defended like we should do.

Kaizer Chiefs have travelled to Polokwane without five members of their first team for the upcoming DStv Premiership clash with Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
Chiefs are on the road once again following their return from a 2-2 draw with Bloemfontein Celtic on Saturday, with an assignment against Nedbank Cup finalists TTM on Tuesday.
Amakhosi have confirmed several casualties from their clash in Bloemfontein, with coach Gavin Hunt also explaining the reason behind some of his substitutions. The first one, Daniel [Akpeyi] got a hell of a bang on his head, so that s obviously a concussion, and then Tower [Mathoho] has done something – groin, I m not sure – but he couldn t carry on after 30 minutes, explained Hunt.
