There’s a new captain on board! Orlando Pirates to announce new team leader
With Innocent Maela’s departure, the Pirates now face the pivotal task of choosing a captain for the upcoming season—and it appears Nkosinathi Sibisi is ready to step up to the challenge.
Details: With the club’s management setting the bar sky-high for the coaching staff, the quest for the title remains a non-negotiable objective for Orlando Pirates.
But the championship is a marathon, not a sprint. To navigate it confidently, a team needs a true leader: composed, devoted, tactically astute—a captain capable of rallying his teammates in the toughest moments.
Star defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is widely regarded as the frontrunner to take the reins and lead from the front.
According to iDiski Times, the 29-year-old Sibisi has convinced club management of his reliability in high-pressure situations through his unwavering consistency and dedication.
The South African has made 102 appearances for Orlando Pirates, with 42 matches and two goals to his name in the previous season alone.
