Orlando Pirates Football Club has announced the appointment of Abdeslam Ouaddou from Marumo Gallants as the new Head Coach.
This comes after Ouaddou resigned from his role with the Bloemfontein-based side in May after overseeing 12 matches last season.
In a statement released by the ‘Buccaneers’ on Monday morning, the team said the 46-year-old brings a wealth of experience both as a player and a tactician.
“A former Moroccan international, Ouaddou earned 68 caps for the Atlas Lions and enjoyed a distinguished playing career across several top European leagues. His deep understanding of the game, coupled with a strong leadership profile, positions him well to lead the Buccaneers into a new era,” read the statement.
Coach Ouaddou, who is expected to arrive in South Africa towards the end of the week, will be assisted by Mandla Ncikazi and Rayaan Jacobs, Helmi Gueldich and Tyron Damons.
Pre-season preparations will officially kick off on June 27.
