SPANISH COACH TO JOIN ORLANDO PIRATES?

According to new reports, Bucs now have five candidates as possible new appointments.

What is the current project at Pirates? In which direction is the club looking?

Is the club going to appoint a co-coach to replace Fadlu Davids? Is it going to be a head coach?

Nothing is clear, meanwhile the club is linked with five coaches as we near pre-season.

In addition to Benni McCarthy, Gavin Hunt, Steve Komphela, and Dan Malesela, the Spaniard Pablo Franco Martin has entered into the frame.

“Martin is currently unattached after parting ways with Tanzania giants Simba SC where he was a head coach,” Soccer Laduma’s Masebe Qina reported.

“Since Josef Zinnbauer’s resignation from his position as Pirates coach last year, Martin has been one of the coaches to have been linked with Bucs, although the club opted to keep faith in Ncikazi and Davids for the duration of the 2021/22 season.”
