Shakira: I Am Ready To Coach Pirates

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Joseph "Shakira" Kamwendo has made it clear he is ready to coach in the South African top flight and dreams Bucs would give him that opportunity.

The former Malawian international told Soccer Laduma that he has obtained all the needed certificates and qualifications to coach at the highest level which would be in the PSL in Southern Africa.

Kamwendo has already started coaching a Super League side in his home country, Malawi with Bangwe All Stars.

"I have learnt a lot now coaching here in Malawi. I started with coaching at youth level and at the academy, then as assistant coach at top clubs like Mighty Wanderers," Kamwendo told the Siya crew in an exclusive interview.

"I know it's not easy to coach in South Africa as I have played there and I know the pressure. But I am ready now to coach there.

"Whether it's as an assistant coach at a Premiership side or I can start as a head coach at a Motsepe Foundation side. I am well qualified to coach there.

"I know and respect the requirements of coaching in South Africa so I had to prepare myself first before saying I am ready for that.

"Now, I can say 'I am ready'. I would be very happy if I can be given the chance at my former team Orlando Pirates but I wouldn't mind coaching any other team as long as I am going to plough back to the sport that has given me a lot," Kamwendo told Soccer Laduma.

Currently, Kamwendo has taken All Stars from position 14 in the 16-team league into the top eight within just two months.
