💨 Abstract

Orlando Pirates coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, addressed criticism about his coaching credentials, including being called a “plumber” and “carpenter.” After winning the 2025 MTN8 trophy, he acknowledged ongoing doubts but stressed the need for patience when implementing a new philosophy at the club. Despite the success, he remains humble, saying his critics may still see him as unqualified.
