Just over a year after resigning at the Buccaneers, experienced football administrator Floyd Mbele is set to return to the club.
Mbele was reportedly fired by Sekhukhune United earlier this year after falling out with management at Babina Noko.
Now reports suggest a return to Orlando Pirates is on the cards!
“You know since he (Mbele) left and since the passing away of Screamer Tshabalala there has been a shortage in options to work close with the team,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“There are other administrators. But that’s why it’s believed that Mbele is coming back next season. The good thing is that he knows the team very well and apparently he will be working with the new coach who the team will appoint.”
