Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has, without doubt, transformed the team in the 10 games he has been in charge since taking over in mid-
rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby.The German has guided Pirates to seven wins and one draw.
Former Bucs coach Augusto Palacios has heaped praise on Zinnbauer for being smart and not making too many changes."Let's consider that the coach had not worked in Africa before," Palacios told Sowetan. "I think he is making use of the quality players he has at his disposal. The players have made things easier for him because they have responded well to him.
"He has not changed too many things in the way they play and formation. Much of the formation is the same and he also has the same technical team with Fadlu Davids helping him, which is good."Palacios says the team should not give up on the title race just yet with some eight games left to play. "We need to continue winning games and remain focused. In football you cannot predict results and anything can happen."Just because we lost in the derby doesn't mean that we should throw in the towel. Only when the season ends can they start to think about rebuilding for next season."Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments? Register or sign in now.
