The supporters of Pirates like him Dejan Miladinovic – Pirates supporter

“Benni would be fantastic for Pirates and I think he would really make things happen for the team. You can see there have been rumours about Gavin Hunt and Benni McCarthy, but I think it would be good for Benni to join Pirates because he used to play for the team and he did very well as a player. Benni would bring the right mentality to the team and I think he would know how to motivate the players. He did very well for AmaZulu FC and I don’t think it would be any different if he were to join Pirates because he would have better players than what he had at AmaZulu. I don’t think anything would go wrong because he would also ask management to bring in new players for him. The supporters of Pirates like him. All of us as supporters would love to have Benni as a coach. And remember, when he was playing, he destroyed Kaizer Chiefs.

That’s what we would also want to see if he were to coach us. As long as management gives him what he needs and they leave him in peace to do his job, I don’t see what would go wrong.”

He can bring back those glory days Jwarha – Pirates supporter

“I think Benni would be a good fit for Pirates and you can tell that the supporters like the idea of having him back in the team because we believe he can bring back those glory days to the team. I’m one of those who say that his experience of playing for top clubs in Europe, his experience of playing at the World Cup with Bafana Bafana will be good for Pirates. We need all of that experience because you can see what he did for AmaZulu FC. The football he plays is beautiful and I feel he could do well at Pirates. When you are a coach, you need to make supporters happy, and how do you make them happy? By winning trophies. You can’t go for years without winning trophies. You can’t be proud to be a Pirates coach and not even reach one cup final in a season. I think it would also be good if he would be allowed to have his own assistants. That system of Sundowns having three coaches is new, but it would be difficult for it to work at other teams, so I think he should bring in his own assistants. You can’t have three bulls in one kraal.”
