Kaelo has been reassigned to the club's developmental structures, while long-serving assistant coach, David 'Lefty' Botlhasitse, has been promoted to the helm.
Kaelo returned to Systems in late 2020 as an assistant under the late Keitumetse 'Pio' Paul.
Following Paul's unfortunate passing, 'Wire' assumed the role of head coach in 2021. Under his tutelage, Systems made it to their first ever cup final in the Orange FA Cup last year.
Additionally, Kaelo was a nominee for the 2021–2022 BPL Coach of the Season award, having led Systems to a commendable sixth-place finish, which stood as their second-highest league placement. Botlhasitse is regarded as one of the country's rising coaching talents in local football. He joined Systems in 2019 as an assistant coach, transitioning from his prior role with Tlokweng Red Sparks in the second-tier league.
'Lefty' gained experience working under Kaelo, Paul, and Daniel 'Chico' Nare over his five-year tenure with the Alarm Boys. The club is expected to make an official announcement on the changes soon.
