Ouaddou wants more weapons to aid Bucs

ORLANDO Pirates’ coach Abdeslam Ouaddou was humble in victory after guiding the team to a record-extending fourth MTN8 crown on Saturday night.

The Sea Robbers cruised to silverware after beating Stellenbosch 3-0, thanks to a brace from Tshepang Moremi and a lone goal from Tshegofatso Mabasa in extra-time.

All three goals were created and scored by substitutes, showing Ouaddou’s tactical prowess, having also been at the heart of the 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in the semifinal first leg at home. Against Sundowns, Ouaddou converted winger Kamogelo Sebelebele into a wing-back, and that proved to be effective as he scored the equaliser.

So such has been the turnaround of fortunes at Pirates - winning the MTN8 and their last three Betway Premiership games — Ouaddou is fast proving his detractors, who didn’t deem him good enough for the role when he lost the first two league games, wrong.
