Orlando Pirates Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Fadlu Davids to the Technical Team.

After going five months without filling the vacancy left by Benson Mhlongo the Club is pleased to have a coach of Davids’ calibre joining the organisation as Assistant Coach.

The 37-year old is no stranger to the local scene having already served as Head Coach of Maritzburg United. He bolsters a technical team that already boasts two very knowledgeable individuals in Milutin Sredojević and Rhulani Mokwena.

Speaking on this appointment, Club Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza said: “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr Davids to Orlando Pirates.”

“What was gratifying when I introduced the coach to the Technical Team there was an instant cordiality and rapport between them.

“It is also quite exciting to have two emerging talents in Rhulani and Fadlu complementing each other.”

Davids will officially commence his duties from Tuesday, 15 January 2019.
