Zinnbauer: German resigns as Orlando Pirates coach after Moroka Swallows loss

The tactician has left the Bucs after they lost their MTN8 clash against their original Soweto derby foes Swallows over the weekend

Josef Zinnbauer has resigned as Orlando Pirates head coach after suffering a 2-1 loss to Moroka Swallows in the MTN8 quarter-final game on Saturday.

Zinnbauer, who has been under consistent criticism since last season, has now tendered his resignation just one game into the 2021/22 season.

"I would like to thank the Chairman and management for the opportunity they have given me. Unfortunately, my time at the club has come to an end," said the 51-year-old German in a statement released by Pirates.
