Molefi Ntseki has assured coach Dan Malesela that he is not at Marumo Gallants to take his job but to add value to the team.
Ntseki announced his arrival at Gallants in great style after the team recorded a 1-0 victory against SuperSport United during the Betway Premiership match played in Tshwane on Friday.
The former Bafana Bafana coach has been away from football for a year after being let go by Kaizer Chiefs in October last year.

The Free State-born coach initially joined Amakkhosi as Head of Technical and Development before moving to the head coach position.
However, his tenure as head coach at Naturena only lasted for 13 games, and he was later replaced by Cavin Johnson.
Ntseki and Malesela exchanged hugs in the tunnel after Marumo Gallants beat SuperSport United by 1-0 in Pretoria on Friday to ease their relegation woes.
"I think it's a very big mistake in us failing to understand what is the technical director, what are the roles and functions of technical director and I think in my meetings with the chairman of the club I explained what I would be here for and he understands and that's why I ended up coming to Marumo Gallants,", Ntseki tells KickOff.com.
"The technical director is not somebody after the coach. He is of technical manager for the players, and the club as a whole, a technical director is more of a CEO of the club and from the technical point of view I am more concentrating on the management of the team in the first team players, coaches, and the staff.
"I am also looking into the development of our DDC team so that we can get good-quality players and our recruitment must be spot-on. I am also going to implement grassroots football at Marumo so that can get more younger players on the team", he added.
