Orlando Pirates legend Sikhosana backs Hunt for Bucs job, rules out McCarthy & Ncikazi

The Soweto giants are expected to announce Josef Zinnbauer’s replacement after the German stepped down on Monday

Former Orlando Pirates forward Jerry Sikhosana says Gavin Hunt is the man best suited to coach the Buccaneers because he will be able to sign his own players, unlike during his seven-month stint at Kaizer Chiefs.

The Pirates job is vacant following the resignation of Josef Zinnbauer on Monday and several names are being thrown around as the German’s potential replacements.

Sikhosana believes that, among the names being thrown around, current Chippa United coach Hunt is the most suitable man to take charge of the Soweto giants.
