# Soccer: Orlando Pirates have appointed Moroccan Abdeslam Ouaddou as their new head coach ahead of the upcoming season. He replaces José Riveiro, who departed for Al Ahly after a successful three-year spell. Ouaddou, a former Morocco international with 68 caps and a strong European playing background, is set to lead the Buccaneers into a new era. His appointment comes amid fan calls for Rulani Mokwena’s return. Preseason starts on Friday, with a training tour in Marbella, Spain, featuring friendlies against top European clubs.
