Eric Tinkler: What I've Done At Orlando Pirates Motivated Me

SuperSport United's head coach, Eric Tinkler, says that what he has accomplished during his time at Orlando Pirates has served as a good motivation to continue being successful.

The former Bafana Bafana international guided his side to a 2017 MTN8 cup win on Saturday, October 14 after Matsatsantsa defeated Cape Town City in a penalty shootout.

Speaking after the match on Saturday, the 47-year-old said that he is hungry to win more trophies this season, adding that what he accomplished during his time with the Buccaneers has motivated him to keep pushing for more glory.

"I think about the job that I have managed to get to two finals and unfortunately when you reach finals someone has to be a loser and you don't want to be on that losing end but, I hold a lot of pride (in) the fact that what I've done at Orlando Pirates that obviously kept me motivated to continue doing what I'm doing," Tinkler told the media in a post-match press conference.

"Obviously, for me to start at SuperSport and start with an MTN8 win, it is a fantastic start but, the type of person I am, I want more. We've got another massive game on the weekend and we want to get to that final and I've explained to the players that it needs to become an addiction. Winning trophies need to be an addiction," he added.

SuperSport will face Club Africain in the second leg of the semi-final stages of the CAF Confederations Cup on Sunday, October 22, where Head Coach Tinkler will look to guide his side to yet another cup final.
