Bafana legend Zuma reserves special praise for Ncikazi after Orlando Pirates success

The former Orlando Pirates and FC Copenhagen star has revealed his admiration for the work assistant coach Ncikazi has done with the club since joining the Soweto giants.

It's not just Ouaddou. You have to look at the whole of his team, the technical team," said Zuma to FARPost.

"You have guys like Mandla Ncikazi, who has been at Pirates for a long time and understands the culture of the club and their winning mentality.

"Not much is said about Ncikazi, and he quietly does his business, but when you have someone like that, you have an advantage. Ouaddou has a huge advantage on his bench."

The former Maritzburg United and Golden Arrows coach has won eight major trophies since joining the Buccaneers and Zuma hopes he can continue with the club.

"If this good working relationship, especially between Ncikazi and Ouaddou, stays like this, Pirates will continue winning trophies."
