Orlando Pirates were emotionally drained after Sredojevic resignation - Motale

The former Buccaneers skipper believes parting ways with the Serbian coach had hurt the Soweto giants psychologically

Former Orlando Pirates skipper Edward Motale admits coach Milutin Sredojevic’s departure has hurt the club but has backed the Soweto giants to bounce back after suffering three losses in all competitions.

Following the Serbian’s resignation on Friday, Pirates went on to lose their MTN8 quarter-final clash against Highlands Park a day later and ‘Magents’ believes the Lions of the North capitalized on a demoralized camp.

On the other hand, the 1995 Caf Champions League winning captain stated the Lions of the North were good on counter-attacks, but his former team must focus on doing well in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
