Abdeslam Ouaddou has hinted he will remain at Orlando Pirates next season, suggesting he still wants to win the CAF Champions League with the club.
Ouaddou, who won a treble with Pirates this season, caused a bit of stir when he said he was feeling “tired” and that he would take some time to reflect on whether to continue as the Buccaneers coach.
This raised speculation that the Moroccan will leave Pirates. However, it looks like Ouaddou will continue as the club’s coach next season.
On Wednesday, Ouaddou shared a post on Instagram, thanking his technical team for helping him win a treble in his first season with Pirates and suggesting that he might work with them again next season.
“To my incredible and dedicated staff. I am writing these few words from the bottom of my heart to send you my most sincere congratulations and my deepest thanks,” said Ouaddou on Instagram.
” Thank you for your hard work, your invaluable expertise, your constant dedication, your sacrifices, and above all, for your boundless love for football and for our club, the Orlando Pirates.
‘I love you all’
“As evidenced by the wonderful memory of our victorious crew in those photos, we have accomplished a monumental amount of work this season. Together, we have put an end to a 14-year drought. Like true pirates, we have sailed every sea and ocean, braving the storms, to finally bring the treasure home!
“This season, we managed to make our wonderful (and oh so demanding) fans deeply happy. I wholeheartedly hope that we continue to bring this immense joy into their daily lives next season.
“But for now, I ask you to rest well and enjoy your families to the fullest. I expressly need it myself! Disconnect and recharge your batteries, because I will need you again to carry out a special mission when we return: to go and recover another massive Treasure at the CAF, without letting anyone steal the one already sitting in our cave!
“Have a great rest, Everyone, and come back in shape for a great new adventure. I embrace you; I love you all,” added Ouaddou.
