🚨Orlando Pirates’ New Coach REVEALED? Moeneeb, Cheez & Mayambela Spill Secrets on Pitso, Benni & Rulani!🔥

The Orlando Pirates coaching situation has been the subject of fierce speculation for months.

With growing pressure for a stronger league finish, improved CAF performances, and more silverware, fans are demanding answers.

Now, Episode 320 of the ever-popular podcast series featuring Moeneeb Josephs, Cheezboy Mokoena, and Mark Mayambela has cracked open the lid on a potential coaching reshuffle—and the names being thrown around are enough to make any Buccaneer fan’s jaw drop.

Let’s get straight to the fire.

According to the three former players, all with deep-rooted ties to Pirates and South African football, the club may be closer than ever to appointing a big-name head coach.

Top of the discussion? Pitso Mosimane.

The legendary tactician, who has made history with Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly, is being touted as the dream choice to take Orlando Pirates to continental dominance.

Moeneeb dropped the bombshell that “if Pitso wants to come home, Pirates is the only team that matches his ambition.

” And that wasn’t just casual banter—he hinted that conversations may already be happening.

But Pitso isn’t the only name burning through the rumour mill.

Rulani Mokwena, currently at Sundowns, also got major airtime.

Cheezboy pointed out that Rulani has matured from a tactical theorist into a results-driven leader who understands the PSL like no one else.

“He’s got that modern edge,” said Cheez, “and he knows the Pirates DNA.

Remember, he started here.

” However, Mokwena’s current loyalty to Sundowns—and their dominance—could make him a difficult catch, unless something massive shakes the league in the off-season.

Then came the wildcard: Benni McCarthy.

If there’s one name that ignites emotion across South African football, it’s Benni.

Mayambela, in particular, couldn’t hide his excitement about the idea.

“Benni brings fire, passion, and he knows how to win with underdogs.

Imagine him at Pirates—he’d bring back that old-school energy we’ve been missing.

” With Benni currently unattached after his stint with Manchester United as a strikers coach, the timing might be perfect.

He’s hungry, he’s available, and he’s got something to prove in the PSL once again.

What’s interesting is how the trio dissected not just the tactical qualities of these candidates, but also their emotional and psychological fit with Pirates’ culture.

The club isn’t just looking for a clipboard coach.

Pirates need a figure who commands respect, handles pressure, connects with players, and above all—wins.

Pitso ticks all those boxes.

Rulani offers the future.

Benni brings the fire.

Each choice leads the club down a radically different path.

But here’s the twist: Moeneeb hinted that the club might not go for any of them.

He teased the idea that the Pirates board is considering a foreign coach with African experience, someone currently coaching in North or West Africa, possibly with CAF Champions League credentials.

This would mark a bold departure from the usual names—and suggest Pirates are finally ready to adopt a global vision, much like Sundowns did with the Rulani-Manqoba-Mokwena experiment and later Pitso’s international conquests.

Still, the former players emphasized that bringing in a foreign name without PSL experience could backfire unless the coach is backed fully by management, given time to build, and supported in the transfer market.

That’s been a recurring flaw at Pirates—impatience, panic-buying, and tactical inconsistencies.

So where does this leave Pirates fans? In a state of high alert.

If Pitso is in talks, it would mark a monumental shift.

If Rulani is being considered, it could spark a war between PSL giants.

And if Benni returns, you can bet every Soweto Derby will be a gladiator match.

But if Pirates are truly looking outside the box for a coach with continental pedigree and a fresh tactical philosophy, this June could be one of the most transformational moments in club history.

One thing’s for sure—Episode 320 didn’t just talk football.

It lit the fuse.

The trio of Moeneeb, Cheez, and Mayambela delivered insider insights that suggest something huge is on the horizon.

And with Pirates preparing for another CAF campaign, time is ticking.

A decision must be made—and the whole continent is watching.

The big question now: Who will take the throne at Orlando Pirates? Will it be Pitso, the master tactician with a continental crown? Rulani, the rising genius with a point to prove? Benni, the rebel king of South African football? Or someone no one sees coming?

Whatever happens next—this is going to be explosive.
