Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza is reportedly negotiating to get Teko Modise to return to the club in a blockbuster break into the coaching world.

Modise however is said to be keen to first complete his coaching courses before taking the step into the technical side of the game.

“Khoza has been speaking to him but Teko is not indicating whether he is interested or not as he considers the option. He has however said he wants to do some coaching classes before he gets into the field of coaching,” an insider told Citizen.

Teko Modise is currently part of the matchday analysts panel at SuperSport TV for PSL clashes. The former Orlando Pirates star has already established himself as one of the top analysts in local football. He made 66 appearances for Bafana Bafana between 2007 and 2012.

Modise also won the PSL on three occasions with Mamelodi Sundowns while further winning the Nedbank Cup and Telkom Knockout. He went on to win the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup under Pitso Mosimane as well.

Teko Modise lifted the MTN8 and Telkom Charity Cup with Orlando Pirates while also helping Cape Town City to the MTN8 crown during the latter period of his career.
