Pirates coach planning to turn striker into a defender

Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic says he is thinking about moving Thamsanqa Gabuza to the backline.


Gabuza has struggled to break into Micho’s squad since the Serbian took over at Pirates at the beginning of the season.

Micho has dismissed rumours of Gabuza leaving the club by finding a place for him in the club.

“Gabuza used to play under Manqoba Mngqithi at Lamontville Golden Arrows as a centre back.

“At times we needed him, and we put him on to help us at the back so that we can win games.

“It worked for us, his first job at Pirates is that he is a player. We have a lot of players in different positions.”
