Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou not getting big headed by reaching another final with Pirates
Abdeslam Ouaddou should be shouting from the rooftop. The Orlando Pirates coach should be mentioning how good of a coach he is as he will be playing his second final in his maiden season as the Sea Robbers gaffer.
The former Marumo Gallants coach should also be mentioning how the Mangaung side fumbled by letting go of a good coach because of what he has achieved at Pirates.
Infact, that Marumo plays Golden Arrows today to determine the finalist against Pirates, should make him want to face his former side so he can ‘prove a point’.
But instead, the Fulham midfielder decided to take a humble path.
“I’m still in the beginning. In the job, you have to be very humble. I think the ambition we have is to deliver in every game a good performance,” Ouaddou said after the 1-0 win over Richards Bay which saw them reach the Carling Knockout final.
“I think it’s too soon to summarise my time so far at Orlando Pirates, I’ll be judged at the end of the season.”
Midfielder Tshepang Moremi scored the only goal yesterday at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
Under, Ouaddou Pirates won the MTN 8 already and are looking to add this Carling Knockout to their trophy cabinet after reaching its final for the first time in three seasons.
