Orlando Pirates players have the power to make or break the club this season according to a former striker.
The Buccaneers made numerous new acquisitions which includes the likes of Bandile Shandu, Kwame Peprah, Olisah Ndah, Kwanda Mngonyama, Goodman Mosele.
Sandile 'AK-47' Ndlovu feels that Bucs have a solid squad, and now it all about coaching.
"Orlando Pirates have players and honestly they didnt need any changes but I'm happy for players like Bandile Shandu. I hope he will do justice to the belief in him, it is now about the coaches to succeed," Ndlovu told the Siya crew.
Pirates parted ways with their former coach Josef Zinnbauer just after the MTN8 quarterfinals, leaving Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids as caretaker coaches.
Ndlovu is concerned that the club may suffer from dressing room issues.
"I'm not sure with those new signings, if they will compete against Sundowns because in South Africa we have a big challenge of not respecting local coaches. I know I was a player," he added.
"They can have the best squad but the big question is whether these superstars can respect coach Mandla Ncikazi and coach Fadlu Davids. That's a question we need to ask and if I'm right, then it will be hard for Pirates to do well this season."
