Mlambo's talent is wasted at Orlando Pirates and would probably fit in at Mamelodi Sundowns - Malesela

Former Chippa United and TS Galaxy head coach Dan Malesela doesn't think Xola Mlambo has a point to prove to anyone at Orlando Pirates that he's a good player and deserves to be playing regularly.

Malesela, who worked with Mlambo at both Cape Town All Stars and Chippa United in 2015 and 2016 respectively believes the player's time is being wasted at the Sea Robbers.

"I don't think there's a need for bouncing back or anything. I think the boy's [Mlambo] time is being wasted," Malesela told Sowetan.

Malesela is of the view that the Pirates technical team is playing Mlambo out of position, adding that Josef Zinnbauer should look more at how the midfielder reads the game that what he does with the ball on his feet.
