Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer breaks silence on Ncikazi appointment

The German tactician explained why he needed a second assistant to join him and Fadlu Davids

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer has welcomed the addition of Mandla Ncikazi and Sjoerd Woudenberg to the club's technical team.

Ncikazi joined the Buccaneers last month following a successful 2020/21 season with Lamontville Golden Arrows as the head coach as he guided the team to a fourth spot finish in the PSL.

The 52-year-old tactician's arrival at Bucs added fuel to speculation that the Soweto giants are considering replacing Zinnbauer with Steve Komphela, but the rumours have since cooled off.
