Orlando Pirates are believed to have decided on who will lead the team in the absence of Jose Riveiro in their next scheduled match this weekend.
The Buccaneers will be without their head coach for the DStv Premiership clash against Maritzburg United on Friday due to suspension.

Indications from sources close to the Bucs camp are that Ncikazi will be calling the shots against his former colleague in Fadlu Davids, with whom he worked alongside of during their tenure as Pirates' co-coaches last season.
Ncikazi will be on the bench with fellow assistant and Spanish coach Sergio Almenara and will hope to keep the momentum going for the Buccaneers in Riveiro's absence, following the team's win in the Nedbank Cup last weekend.
Furthermore, Bucs have enjoyed an improved run in the league this year, having bagged three wins in a row before losing to defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns in their last fixture.
