Gullit's CV is on Khoza's desk

Ruud Gullit in line for Orlando Pirates' coaching job

Posted: 3 May 2012 Time: 12:39 pm

Former Dutch international Ruud Gullit has joined the list of coaches earmarked for the coaching position at Orlando Pirates.

The Mighty Buccaneers are still looking for new coach to replace Julio Leal, who was fired by the club at the beginning of April.

Former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus has also been linked with the big position at Parktown.

Gullit recently featured in an advert for Carling Black Label, who are Bucs sponsors, and according to our reliable sources in the Pirates camp Gullit's CV is on top of the pile on Irvin Khoza's desk at their offices in Parktown.

"Ruud Gullit has been in the country several times and is fond of South Africa. He is very interested in the job at Pirates," the source says.

But Bucs communication manager Mickey Modisane says now is not the time to discuss the issue.

"Our focus now is on the two remaining games and we will only discuss the issue of the coach at the end of the season," he says.

Pirates are on the verge of winning the League title again, just needing to win their two remaining matches.

Ruud has been a huge admirer of Orlando Pirates, and particularly Oupa Manyisa. Mr Khoza knows the right thing to do, and that would be to appoint Ruud Gullit.

Bernhard Schuster`s CV is also at Mayfair, why not hire him. In fact I heard that Pirates has cleaned one of their storerooms due to the overflowing CVs.

A big fat NO! Coaching OP is no child's play! It is a high-pressured environment and we need a coach who has at least 3 championships under his belt, no chancers!

We need a coach who has been there, done it! A coach who has won won cup competitions, meaning a coach who knows how to win when required to win (demonstrated in cup competitions)...

All Gullit is gonna give us is lip service and excuses & @ OP that is not acceptable...

A big NO, he doesn't have a good coaching record, I was reading his profile on Wikipedia, he has a bad record of fighting with clashing with players in almost all the teams he have coached. I'd rather bring back Papic or bring VV.
