Orlando Pirates on who will replace Mokwena as Zinnbauer's assistant

Orlando Pirates are yet to make up their mind on finding head coach Josef Zinnbauer a new assistant to replace Rhulani Mokwena who left the club.

Chippa United confirmed Mokwena’s arrival in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.

Fadlu Davids has recently been the only assistant to Zinnbauer since the start of the year when Mokwena went on leave before the latter’s eventual departure.

Orlando Pirates administrative manager Floyd Mbele said they have not yet decided on replacing Mokwena.

“We haven’t even reached that thought. Rhulani has left us and is at Chippa and the club released a statement about his departure,” Mbele told IOL.

“The technical team will give us [an] indication if they want to beef up the technical team or not.”

Zinnbauer might want to select his own understudy to replace Mokwena.
