Orlando Pirates Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has effectively put doubts about his future at the club to bed in a heartfelt message on his socials and set his sight on the elusive CAF Champions League.

The Moroccan tactician joined the Buccaneers at the beginning of the recently concluded campaign after leaving Marumo Gallants.

In his maiden season in charge, Ouaddou guided the Buccaneers to their first Betway Premiership title after 14-years of waiting, ending the length league drought at the Soweto-giants.

The 47-year old remarkably completed a domestic treble, leading Pirates to MTN 8 and Carling Knockout success, to quickly earn admiration from the Buccaneers faithful as he enjoyed a dream debut at the club.

Despite historic achievements in his debut the Moroccan revealed in the final match of the season that he feels exhausted and considers stepping down and will have discussions with the management in the coming weeks.

However the Moroccan international has putted doubts to his future to bed after sharing a heartfelt message to his technical team on his Instagram account.

“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.

“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.

“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.

OUADDOU SET HIS SIGHT ON CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

“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.”
