Head coach Dan Malesela has welcomed the arrival of Molefi Ntseki to bolster the technical team at Marumo Gallants.
Ntseki was unveiled as Gallants' new Technical Director during the week.
The arrival of the former Bafana Bafana head coach at the club raised suspicion about Malesela's future at Bahlabane Ba Ntwa after reports emerged in Bloemfontein that 'Dan Dance' had fallen out with the club management.

Ntseki sat on the stands as Gallants defeated SuperSport United by a 1-0 scoreline during an Betway Premiership match played at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Tshwane on Friday.
Malesela has hailed the former Kaizer Chiefs mentor as 'an honest man' and remains confident that they will work well together at the top-flight division returnees.
"I and this man have come a long way, and it's just [that] people don't know," Malesela told KickOff.com.
"I am not saying they are wrong, there has been a trend in the country. We had a lengthy meeting, a very long meeting, about three to four hours, and he explained what he is here for.
"In fact, in our discussion, it's about helping my job become easier than anything else, and hoping it stays that way. I think it will stay that way.

"I have known this man during our times in coaching courses and he was my study mate and my roommate, and he always comes out as an honest person and I am not suspecting anything," he added.
Gallants will host high-flying Magesi FC in their next Betway league match at the Dr Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein next Saturday.
