"Petim is caretaker coach. He is being assisted by Roger de Sa in the meantime," the source tells snl24.com/kickoff.
"There is a chance that he could remain caretaker coach until the end of the season if he does well."
Umoya beat TS Galaxy 3-1 in Cape Town on Saturday while Mbombela managed to secure three points at home after beating Richards Bay 4-0 at Kanyamazane Stadium over the weekend.
