Micho left the Buccaneers soon after the start of the current season in August, and his exit was hugely felt until Zinnbauer turned things around
Orlando Pirates administrative officer Floyd Mbele has broken his silence on how the departure of Milutin Sredojevic affected the club's plans to succeed this season.
Sredojevic resigned as head coach of the Buccaneers three games into the season and later joined Egyptian giants Zamalek in a lucrative deal.
Mbele said losing a key member of their squad at that critical stage of the season was never easy because the club had already made plans for the season and didn't expect anyone to leave.
