A historic domestic treble and the end of a 14-year drought, but is Abdeslam Ouaddou's time at Orlando Pirates already up? Photo: Backpagepix
Abdeslam Ouaddou led Orlando Pirates with passion, raw emotion and selflessness over the last 10 months, forcing him to empty his tank in the process. That’s why he needs to thoroughly recharge and reflect before deciding whether he can continue leading the team.
Ouaddou awakened a sleeping giant over the weekend as he returned Pirates to the summit of South African football, winning the Betway Premiership to end a 14-year title drought in his first season. That completed a domestic treble, having already won the MTN8 and Carling Knockout.
Under his stewardship, the Buccaneers became a force to be reckoned with. They showed desire, a never-say-die attitude and maturity, despite the squad largely consisting of relatively young players.
