Orlando Pirates have a new coach in charge and he wants to bring in a few new faces.
Orlando Pirates recently confirmed the announcement of their new head coach – Abdeslam Ouaddou.
However, that does not change the clubs objective to recruit more players. In fact, more players are now linked with Pirates following Ouaddou’s appointment.
OUDDOU’S TRANSFER TARGETS
Sipho Mbule is the first official signing confirmed under Ouaddou.
Interestingly, he is not the only Mamelodi Sundowns target.
Ouddou’s Pirates have made enquiries about Sundowns Bafana Bafana defender, Neo Maema.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Malian midfielder, Abdoulaye Mariko is another man that Ouddou is interested in signing to the Bucs. As reported on The South African, Ouaddou’s arrival could pave the way to this possible move.
PIRATES PLAYER MOVEMENTS TO CONTINUE
Pirates have secured NINE signings. So, Mbule joins these EIGHT new Bucs players. Most noticeably, this includes two Bafana Bafana stars – Tshepang Moremi and Sinoxolo Kwayiba.
Sihle Nduli joins the Soweto giants from Stellenbosch FC in another noteworthy addition.
Furthermore, Pirates have confirmed four player departures so far.
Also, even more player exits are on the cards. The likes of ‘Gilberto’, Katlego Otladisa, Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo and Siphelo Baloni are all facing uncertain futures at Mayfair.
WHO SHOULD OUADDOU SIGN TO PIRATES? WHO SHOULD HE RELEASE?
