The German arrived at the Buccaneers after having been jobless for two years and with no track record of success in his coaching career
Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer says the doubts people had about him after joining the Soweto giants with an unimpressive CV gave him a “sting”, but it is what motivated him for success.
After parting ways with Swiss side FC St Gallen in May 2017, he was unemployed until landing the Buccaneers job on December 10, 2019.
Questions were raised about Pirates appointing a coach who had no employment for two years and without a track record of winning any titles.
