Milutin Sredojevic wants more Orlando Pirates players in Bafana Bafana squad for Afcon 2019

Orlando Pirates head coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has backed Bafana Bafana to do well at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.

South Africa is set to make their return to the continental tournament after missing out on the previous competition which was hosted by Gabon in 2017.

Sredojevic would like to see more Pirates players being included in the national team setup ahead of this year's tournament which will be in Egypt.

“As a technical team member, supporter and coach of a big club like Orlando Pirates, we stand behind the national team coach (Stuart Baxter)," Sredojevic said on Pirates TV .
