Soweto Derby: Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates clash not about Germans – Middendorp

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has played down talks that their eagerly anticipated Premier Soccer League (PSL) match against Orlando Pirates is between him and German counterpart Josef Zinnbauer.

The Amakhosi manager is set to lead his men for the first time against the 49-year-old who is looking to retain their fine run since his arrival in the PSL back in December 2019.

Coming to the clash to be staged at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Zinnbauer expressed delight in facing the 90 000 fans in his first derby.
