McCarthy: Former Cape Town City coach opens up on Orlando Pirates links

Former Orlando Pirates centre forward Benni McCarthy has revealed why he did not return to the club last year.

The legendary Bafana Bafana marksman was linked with the Pirates coaching job in the first half of the current season, which has been suspended indefinitely since mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Buccaneers were struggling under Rhulani Mokwena's guidance in the PSL, after the young tactician took over the reins following the sudden departure of coach Milutin Sredojebic last August.
