'I don't know what Zinnbauer is doing' - Monyane's lack of game time at Orlando Pirates leaves Palacios puzzled

The 2011/12 PSL title-winning coach tells Goal the promising player can contribute to the success of the Soweto giants

Former Orlando Pirates academy director Augusto Palacios fails to understand why one of his products Thabiso Monyane has struggled for game time under coach Josef Zinnbauer.

The 21-year-old attacker started just one match in the PSL during the recent 2020/21 season with Zinnbauer opting for seasoned and experienced players.

Having coached Monyane in the Pirates development academy, Palacios, 69, feels that the promising player has been deprived of the opportunity to develop and improve under the German tactician.
