Orlando Pirates enter a new era under 46-year-old Moroccan coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. The former Marumo Gallants man fills some big shoes.
Former boss Jose Riveiro goes down as one of the most successful Bucs managers ever, with five trophies, including a three-peat of MTN8 titles.
Will Ouaddou be able to follow in Riveiro’s footsteps?
Orlando Pirates hand three-year deal to Ouaddou
According to Soccer-Laduma, Abdeslam Ouaddou has signed a three-year deal with Orlando Pirates.
“That one I can confirm to you (Ouaddou’s contract length). Yes, it’s apparently believed to be a straight three-year contract. It seems that is the standard for the club (Pirates) now. It was the same with Jose Riveiro as well as Micho (Milutin Sredojevic) and Ruud Krol. So, it’s believed that it will run from the 1st of July 2025 to 30th June 2028. That’s how things are concerning the coach’s contract,” said a source.
