Orlando Pirates have continued bolstering their technical team ahead of the new Absa Premiership season which is set to kick off next Friday.

The Buccaneers who finished last campaign out of the top eight for the first time in the era of PSL have announced the appointment of Rhulani Mokwena as Assistant Coach to Milutin Sredojevic.

Pirates unveiled ”Micho” as their head coach last week and the Serbian has now assembled his back-room staff, with former Mamelodi Sundowns assistant Mokwena coming on as Pirates’ number-two

Quoted from Pirates website Mokwena said: “I thank the President Mr Patrice Motsepe and the coach Pitso Mosimane for not only providing me with an opportunity, I thank them for the grace with which they accepted and supported my acceptance of the Orlando Pirates challenge”
