New Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou says he has the right tools to succeed at the club, lauding Bucs' squad depth that comes with a good problem of a selection headache.
Ouaddou's term at Pirates got off to a flying start when Bucs convincingly beat Polokwane City 2-0 in their MTN8 quarterfinal at a packed Orlando Stadium on Saturday. New signing Oswin Appollis ran the show, winning man of the match against his former team, netting a goal and winning a penalty that was tucked away by Patrick Maswanganyi.
Of course we have the tools. The club has given me the possibility to succeed. I am very happy and proud about the quality of players I have, Ouaddou said after the game.
Every weekend I am in trouble to find a starting XI, but it's a good problem for me. I am a happy coach.
The Moroccan emphasised he was selecting players on merit, highlighting that every squad member was important and disclosing the players who did not make the match day squad against Polokwane had played a friendly earlier in the day.
