With Orlando Pirates set to end the season without any silverware, Mandla Ncikazi is leaving his fate to the management amid the club’s search for a coach in Europe.
A club of Pirates’ magnitude will ultimately be judged on whether or not they manage to get their hands on some silverware.
The Soweto giants have only had a taste of success once in eight years as they clinched the 2020 MTN trophy and last lifted the league title a decade ago. Bucs came close to bringing the CAF Confederation Cup home but recently suffered defeat in the final against RS Berkane.
Following Pirates’ 4-1 win over Maritzburg United on Tuesday, Ncikazi was asked if he feels he, along with Fadlu Davids, have done enough to warrant another season in charge at the club; he said: “That’s a good question, but you are asking the wrong person.
“Sometimes you will win the league, be on top of the game, and lose your job, and sometimes you will be bottom; you see coaches with the team bottom of the league they will go with the team. It is not my decision,” he added.
However, report stated earlier shows indications are that the Bucs management is considering hiring a new coach.
And word reaching the Siya crew is that Pirates have been making inquiries about available tacticians in Germany and France.
