‘Kaizer Chiefs coach can only run like Abdeslam when supporters want to hit him with a sjambok! This is what you get when hiring a coach instead of a translator, Orlando Pirates’ coach similar to Diego Simeone and will field himself one day’ - Fans

The former Morocco defender was captured in a moment of connection with his players after the Buccaneers beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 to win the Carling Knockout at Peter Mokaba Stadium last Sunday. The Soweto giants' coach sprinted on the pitch with his players in hot pursuit to shower him with champagne in celebration of their triumph and second major trophy of the season.

GOAL takes a look at how fans reacted to the sight of Orlando Pirates' Abdeslam Ouaddou being playful with the men he coaches.
