Abdeslam Ouaddou drops a huge hint he may leave Orlando Pirates despite winning the Betway Premiership
If what Abdeslam Ouaddou said after Orlando Pirates' 2-0 win over Orbit College is anything to go by, then it means he may not be at the club next season.
The Sea Robbers gaffer was not as jubilant as expected from a title winning coach perspective when he spoke to the media after the match at Mbombela Stadium.
Pirates clinched a treble this season under Ouaddou having bagged the MTN8 and Carling Knockout trophies earlier this season.
“I work with passion, I work with love and it’s difficult to lead such a big team like Orlando Pirates. It was a very difficult season and I’m tired, I’m very very tire," said an emotional Ouaddou.
“To be able to lead such a ship you need to be. I will sit and I will think – sit down with my management as well. I’m tired, we’ll speak about next season, about what can happen.
“I need energy, I need power. Without energy. It will be difficult to continue. We will sit. I’m speaking with emotions. It was a long season with lots of pressure. And we’ll speak, we will see.”
The league title victory ended their 14 year drought which saw them fail to lift the PSL title and it also ended Mamelodi Sundowns dominance in local football over eight years.
Sundowns won the league for the past eight seasons in succession.
