Pirates Appoint Former Gallants Coach

Orlando Pirates have announced the appointment of former Marumo Gallants coach Abdeslam Ouaddou as the new Head Coach.

Ouaddou takes over from Jose Riveiro who left Pirates to join Al Ahly, after three-years with the Buccaneers.

The Moroccan will be assisted by Mandla Ncikazi and Rayaan Jacobs. Helmi Gueldich and Tyron Damons will complete the rest of the technical team.

The 46-year-old brings a wealth of experience that includes Betway Premiership as he spent four months with Gallants towards the end of last season.

The former Moroccan international is expected to arrive in South Africa towards the end of the week.

The club will return on June 27 for pre-season preparations.
