Orlando pirates are suffering from internal factions according to an insider at the club!
The Buccaneers got their first victory of the season over the weekend when they defeated Swallows FC 1 – 0 thanks to a Tshegofatso Mabasa header.
The win came at a difficult time for Orlando Pirates who were already sent crashing out of the MTN8 at the first hurdle as defending champions.
New suggestions from within the Buccaneers’ camp claim there’s major problems within the squad and loyalties towards the two co-coaches in Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids are becoming a challenge!
Orlando Pirates being disrupted by internal power struggle?
“People are not happy with what is happening in that squad, it’s a very talented squad but there is no unity.” a reported Orlando Pirates insider told Citizen.
“There are sub-groups inside the club with some players only wanting to take instructions from Fadlu, while others are on coach Mandla’s side. You see, that’s where the problem starts, there is no head coach, there is no-one who is in charge of everything. Even Thembinkosi Lorch spoke about the team being divided in that show on TV (Sitting with Stan).
“If you don’t get along with a certain player at Orlando Pirates, you don’t pass the ball to him, unless you’re under pressure. That’s what happens, you should look at the way the team plays, it is wrong for a big club like Pirates. I don’t know how it is going to be fixed, but it better be soon,”
Orlando Pirates will be competing both domestically as well as on the continent this season. The club’s fans will desperate for a more unified approach going forward.
The Buccaneers are next in action against Chippa United on Saturday afternoon. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00.
