Pamphile Mihayo and David Mwakasu will be in charge of TP Mazembe when they face Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Super Cup Saturday 18.

The duo will be supported by legendary keeper Robert Kidiaba, who keeps his position in the squad as a player.

Newly appointed manager Thierry Froger, who arrived in Pretoria Wednesday will use the match to monitor his charges before he takes over on return to the DRC.

The Frenchman penned a one-year deal with the Revans on Monday in Paris – to replace fellow countryman Hubert Velud, who left the club end of 2016 season.

The duel, initially booked at Lucas Moripe Stadium, will now be staged at 51,762 seater capacity Loftus Versveld Stadium Pretoria.

The football and rugby field was the venue of Sundowns’ 6-0 thrashing of Soweto giants Orlando Pirates last weekend in the Premier Soccer League.
