When
Julio Leal contract expires or when he gets sacked! Orlando Pirates just needs
a special coach and that coach must be given time to build a super team! Here
are the leading contenders that are in my list to be the next coach in the
hottest hot-seat in soccer eMzansi.
Gordon Igesund (Moroka Swallows)
Good
history via winning the league title with different clubs. Why Mr. Igesund? Because
Orlando Pirates FC is a big club and our aim should be focusing on winning league
titles and qualifying for the CAF competitions each and every season!
Honours
1996/97
- PSL champion (Manning Rangers)
2000/01
- PSL champion (Orlando Pirates)
2001/02
- PSL champion (Santos)
2000
- BP Top Eight Cup winner (Orlando Pirates)
2006/07
- PSL champion (Mamelodi Sundowns)
2007
- SAA Supa 8 winner (Mamelodi Sundowns)
Owen Da Gama (Platinum Stars)
He
can build a team but he needs more than two seasons, e.g. he took Silver Stars (Platinum Stars) from the lower division
to the top flight football and they’ve been here forever)
Honours
2006
- Telkom Knockout Cup (Silver Stars)
Roger De Sa (Bidvest Wits)
He
is just an underrated coach, but with resources and at Pirates Roger can make Pirates
one of the best clubs in Southern Africa… and Africa.
Honours
2010
- Nedbank Cup (Bidvest Wits)
Paul Dolezar (Club-less)
This
one I can talk about him all day, but the important thing he is honest and can
bring the best in players and he can tell the player why he thinks he is failing.
Honours
1997/98
- Rothmans Cup (Kaizer Chiefs)
1998/99
- Rothmans Cup (Kaizer Chiefs)
1999/2000 - Rothmans Cup (Mamelodi Sundowns)
1999/2000 - Rothmans Cup (Mamelodi Sundowns)
1999/2000 - PSL champion (Mamelodi Sundowns)
2005
- SAA Supa8 (Bloemfontein Celtic)
Kostadin Papic (Young Africans FC)
For
me this guy I wonder how he failed to win at Pirates, but why I regard him as a
special coach, he believes in his players and therefore we will see 100%
commitment from players.
Honours

These
are the coaches that I think one should be given a job to coach the Mighty Bucs
come the end of the Brazilian.
