Some of the biggest names in the SA football have been linked with the Orlando Pirates job.
Orlando Pirates are actively searching for a new coach.
Furthermore, the next coach will have massive boots to fill following the departure of Spaniard, Jose Riveiro. As mentioned, several massive names have been linked with Pirates including Pitso Mosimane, Rulani Mokwena, Benni McCarthy and Manqoba Mngqithi. However, some of these men are not in contention due to current circumstances.
BENNI MCCARTHY WILL NOT COACH PIRATES NEXT SEASON
Bucs legend, Benni McCarthy will not be coaching Olando Pirates next season.
This is because the Bafana Bafana and Bucs legend has recently started his next coaching job. McCarthy is now in charge of Kenya. So, all reported links have now been outrightly dismissed.
However, this does not mean he will never return to Mayfair. It just means McCarthy will not be coming back to Pirates any time soon.
EX-SUNDOWNS COACH RULED OUT OF CONTENTION
Manqoba Mngqithi will also not be coaching Pirates next season.
Moreover, the ex-Sundowns coach has just started coaching PSL rivals, Golden Arrows. Meaning, he is committed to his next coaching journal with the KwaZulu Natal-based outfit.
Initially, Manqoba was one of the big names linked with the Pirates hot seat. However, similarly to McCarthy he is also no longer in the running for the Bucs hot seat.
Meaning, Rulani Mokwena and Pitso Mosimane are still technically in the running for the Pirates job.
Meawhile, Mandla Ncikazi and Carlos Nodar Paz join the likes of Pablo Franco Martin, Florent Ibenge and German tactician, Marco Rose.
