Nieminen: Orlando Pirates goalkeeping coach confirms departure

Jyri Nieminen has announced he is leaving his role as Orlando Pirates goalkeeping coach.

Arriving at Pirates in June 2019 to replace Andrew Sparkes who had just left to join Premier League side Southampton, Nieminen immediately stabilised the Pirates goalkeeping department.

He had joined the Buccaneers under Milutin Sredojevic, coming from Major Soccer League side San Jose Earthquakes, having previously worked with the junior national teams of Qatar and Estonia.
