Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer: Winning four Soweto derbies in a row against Kaizer Chiefs is important to me

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has emphasised the importance of beating Kaizer Chiefs yet again in Sunday’s Soweto derby clash at FNB Stadium as he recalls the little faith in him when he took up this job.

Zinnbauer first tasted the confrontation between the two sides in a league in February 2020 and was on the losing side as Chiefs won 1-0 away at Orlando Stadium.

But since then, the tide has shifted with the Pirates coach leading his side to three victories over their traditional foes this season.
