“I don’t want to say whether he will win the league, the Nedbank Cup or other trophies. But what I know is that it will be two or three cups. I trust him, and yes, he is under pressure. But all of us live under pressure in life,” says James Mothibi
James Mothibi is very certain that Orlando Pirates coach – Josef Zinnbauer will be to bring back the “glory days” at the club.
The former Bucs striker is aware that the German mentor is pressurized to start delivering results, but he is sure Zinnabauer will win at least two or three trophies next season.
“When you sign with Orlando Pirates you already have pressure to deliver. It was his first season with the club, let’s give him an opportunity to show us his coaching skills. I trust him and I trust that he will deliver two or three cups in the 2020/2021 season,” Mothibi told Phakaaathi.
“I don’t want to say whether he will win the league, the Nedbank Cup or other trophies. But what I know is that it will be two or three cups. I trust him, and yes, he is under pressure. But all of us live under pressure in life.”
Mothibi also beckoned on the fans to exercise patience with Zinnbauer and explains that in football, a club can encounter tough times in which they might not win.
“The supporters need to be patient and understand that in football you get your dry season and you get your wet season (where you win a lot of trophies). The last five years have been a dry season at Pirates. Let’s hope that our coach will pray for the rain and make it wet (win cups at Pirates) at Orlando Pirates’ offices.”
Zinnbauer and his Bucs team will be looking forward to making an impact in the first trophy of the season – MTN8, which will begin on 17 October.
