Chippa United's Morgan Mammila remains confident of his position as head coach for the foreseeable future despite falling to ninth position in the DStv Premiership standings.
Chippa suffered their second successive defeat after a 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday.

The Chilli Boys find themselves outside the top eight positions with 19 points after having played 16 games.
"In football, this is a business, and If the results are not coming, remember you are talking to management, I know these things," Mammila said.
"I have fired coaches when results were not forthcoming, I know the game.
"I know the worth of the status and remember Chippa is worth more than any status because of where Chippa is based and the sponsors they have.
"But football doesn't lie, statistics don't lie.
"Can you fire a coach who plays football like this? Would you get a better person who can play like this?
"Would you get a coach who can win four games in a row, and take a team from 16th to 6th? I don't need to be a white person to be where I am.
"Don't look for colour guys, look at my stats. I have won four games, I have drawn two games, I have lost three games".
"How many games did the other coach, the white guy lose?
"Three games in a row. Did you ask him this question? The answer is no because why Morgan is a rural boy."
Chippa United are set to host Cape Town City in their next league fixture at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.
