The Buccaneers faithful find themselves divided after their head coach’s words appeared to strike the wrong chord following the Sea Robbers’ 3-1 victory over La Cure Waves at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday. Despite securing a convincing three-goal win, the Moroccan mentor was far from pleased with his troops’ performance and threatened, yet again, to quit.
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has made his stance on showboating clear, insisting he would rather walk away than compromise his winning mentality.
