German tactician Josef Zinnbauer has resigned as Orlando Pirates coach following the club’s elimination from the MTN8 Super Cup by Moroka Swallows at the weekend.
In a statement Zinnbauer expressed gratitude to the ‘sea robbers’ as Pirates is often called by many fans.
“I would like to thank the Chairman and management for the opportunity they have given me. Unfortunately, my time at the Club has come to an end. I have enjoyed my time here and would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the supporters.
“I have spent the last two years away from my family and for this reason I have decided to hand in my resignation. I would like to wish the Club and its supporters all the best for the future,” he said.
Zinnbauer leaves Pirates with a record of 35 wins, 20 draws and 13 losses in his 68 matches in charge of the Mighty Buccaneers.
