South Africa adventure: Trainer Zinnbauer signs with the Orlando Pirates

Quote from RKeule

2 German coaches at the two largest clubs in South Africa I mean that the Pirates have lost a bit of the lead in recent years, but maybe Zinnbauer will get the curve there. The games against the Chiefs are definitely an absolute treat in terms of atmosphere.-

The Pirates were runner-up last season (just 2 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns).
The chiefs weren’t even in the top 8 last season (place 9), which entitles them to participate in the MTN8 Cup.
So far this season has been going very well for the Chiefs and rather mediocre for the Pirates.

Therefore, your statement with the missed connection does not quite match the Pirates even if the last championship title of the Pirates was in 2012.

Milutin Sredojević’s departure was serious for the Pirates.
The money probably lured him to Egypt.

Rulani Mokwena is more of an assistant coach and was only a temporary solution until the new coach was found.

In any case, I wish Zinnbauer much success with the Pirates.
The Nedbank Cup would still be possible as a title.
