Florian Ibenge emerges as new candidate for Orlando Pirates head coach

Orlando Pirates are on the brink of announcing their new head coach, but the suspense is only intensifying.

Details: As of yesterday, Ibenge still has a contract with Sudanese side Al-Hilal, but an insider within the Orlando Pirates camp has hinted that this could soon change.

The source revealed that the Pirates' scouts have recommended Congolese coach Florent Ibenge to the club’s management.

While interest in the CAF Confederation Cup winner is mounting, the Pirates are in no rush to make an official offer just yet.

As time ticks on and rumors swirl, all eyes are now on the “Buccaneers” and their upcoming European tour, which is set to kick off soon.

Reminder: Rulani Mokwena is open to returning to Orlando Pirates
