'We remain confident' - Orlando Pirates coach Zinnbauer eyes Nedbank Cup glory

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer has set his sights on Nedbank Cup glory with the Soweto giants scheduled to face Maritzburg United on Saturday.

Bucs will square off with Maritzburg in the Last 16 encounter at Harry Gwala Stadium, having eliminated National First Division (NFD) side Uthongathi FC in the Last 32 match on February 6.

Zinnbauer has already guided Pirates to the MTN8 title triumph earlier this season as the Soweto giants defeated Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 in the final to end the club's six-year trophy drought.
