Orlando Pirates made me - Tinkler on working under pressure in the PSL

The former Chippa United and Maritzburg United coach has reflected on his time with the Buccaneers

Cape Town City head coach Eric Tinkler says he loved his stint with Orlando Pirates as he learned how to work under pressure.

The 50-year-old tactician took charge of the Buccaneers in January 2014 following the departure of Roger De Sa as he was promoted from assistant to head coach.

It was Tinkler's maiden head coaching job having previously served as De Sa's assistant at Bidvest Wits, before the duo moved to Pirates in September 2012.
