Michael Loftman, who joined the club earlier this year as an analyst, was seen on the Buccaneers bench as they beat bitter rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, 1-0 in the MDC on Sunday, with Lebohang Sepeng getting the winner.

Loftman who is a highly-qualified coach having already acquired his UEFA A Coaching Licence, and has plenty of experience having spent time with both Tottenham Hotspur as a development coach, and fellow English Premier League side, Watford, as a sports scientist, during his young career.

The former Lusaka Dynamos head coach, praised his side's attitude in their victory over Chiefs in his post-match interview, as can be seen below:
