Kjell Jonevret has lasted only five months as the head coach of Orlando Pirates, before parting ways with the club. Jonevret has led Orlando Pirates to two wins in 13 league games as their head coach and now with the appointment of Milutin 'Micho' Sredejovic, the fans have high hopes.

After the resignation of the Swede, from the head coach position he held at the club since February this year, the club has since appointed his replacement.
When he was announced as the Pirates coach on February 20, Jonevret took over the reins from Augusto Palacios. Palacios had been the team's interim coach since November last year, having taken over from Muhsin Ertugral, who resigned from the club their loss against SuperSport United on November 01.
Since being at the helm, Jonevret oversaw 13 league games for Bucs. His first game as Bucs coach was the 1-1 draw with Polokwane City on February 25, and the last was the 2-1 loss against Golden Arrows in May.
In their 13 games under the Swede, Pirates won two, drew seven and lost four on the way to their disappointing finish to the campaign.

1-1 v Polokwane City,
1-1 v Kaizer Chiefs,
1-1 v SuperSport United,
2-3 v Free State Stars,
2-0 v Maritzburg United,
0-0 v Highlands Park,
1-1 v Baroka,

0-1 v Bidvest Wits,
0-2 v Mamelodi Sundowns,
0-0 v Bloemfontein Celtic,
