Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has opened up about the prospects of a clean sweep this season after already winning two trophies.
The Buccaneers have claimed the MTN8, defeating Stellenbosch in the final, and followed that up by lifting the Carling Knockout Cup after beating Marumo Gallants.
Pirates are also emerging as favourites in the Betway Premiership, sitting top of the standings with 35 points—three clear of second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns on 32.
Ouaddou, however, admits it will be a huge challenge to win all the trophies, with the Nedbank Cup and the league title still up for grabs.
“For all of us, it’s a very huge challenge, nobody has done it [in the PSL era],” said Ouaddou.
“It’s a sort of motivation to go and give everything to write the names of the players in the history of the club.
“With things, you have to be motivated because football is growing so quick. You think sometimes you have ten years to play, but ten years go quickly.
“You need to be ambitious and leave your name in the club where you’re playing. In 2004, I played the AFCON final with Morocco, we were favourites but we didn’t win.
“I always tell them to use the time when they are playing to be ambitious and leave as a legend.
“It’s [winning all trophies] a big challenge for us this season.”
