Orlando Pirates legend Teboho Moloi says that the club’s left-field decision of appointing Abdeslam Ouaddou has highlighted chairman Irvin Khoza’s unmatched ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Pirates stunned all and sundry when they announced the capture of the Moroccan-French coach who was on the books of Marumo Gallants last season.

Ouaddou may have done a decent job at Gallants, but no one could have predicted that he would be taking over the reins at the Buccaneers.

Moloi, a former Bucs assistant coach, is of the belief that Khoza is always a step ahead when it comes to the hiring of coaches, even during Moloi’s playing days.
