Bucs Coach Vermezovic Admits He Will Celebrate Against His Former Side

Speaking at an Orlando Pirates conference at the Rand Stadium, Johannesburg, the Bucs mentor candidly expressed that he wouldn't hold back his celebrations should his charges emerge victorious in the cup spectacle despite having coached Amakhosi for three years.

"Look there is a strange habit in football that a player who played for a team he is now playing against doesn't celebrate if he scores…I'm going to celebrate for sure," said VV.

The Bucs coach further alluded to the long range strike by Oupa Manyisa in extra time which beat Itumeleng Khune to hand Pirates the MTN8 trophy in 2011 when, Vermezovic was still head coach of Kaizer Chiefs.

"Look this guy (Oupa Manyisa) took the cup away from me but never mind, I'm glad he is playing for me and I hope he can repeat the same deed for us on Saturday," mentioned VV stimulating more reasons why the Bucs coach would be inclined to celebrate against his former club. 

The Bucs mentor also conveyed his sentiments regarding the possibility of the spectacle going into extra time.

"We want to make a good match of it for the fans. I don't want the match to go into extra time and we hope to score goals and finish within the 90 minutes," added the Serbian.
