'No one capable of filling Jele's shoes at Bucs': Following Happy Jele’s departure from Orlando Pirates on Monday, former goalkeeper Innocent Mayoyo has given his thoughts on who could take over the armband at the club.
The departures of Jele, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Ntsikelelo Nyauza and Wayne Sandilands recently, players who have worn the captain’s armband before, means the Buccaneers have to find new leaders ahead of the new season.
“From Happy, if you look around who got many years around in the club and it looks like no one is ready,” Mayoyo explained to Sowetan yesterday. “For me, it is not going to be easy to point out an individual. “Honestly speaking, I don’t see anybody especially after losing Happy and the other players that we have lost like Nyauza and others who were showing some leadership qualities. It’s not going to be easy, to be honest.”
But Mayoyo is not convinced they can lead a team like Pirates. “We still need people who are going to understand the culture at Pirates,” he said.
