Orlando Pirates defender Happy Jele has expressed his excitement at the possibility of working with new coach Muhsin Ertugral.

The 56-year-old recently made the switch from being Mpumalanga Black Aces head coach to being appointed at the Buccaneers.

The Pirates faithful insists that he always admired Ertugral when he was in charge of other clubs and is relishing the chance to work with him.

‘Yes, I am looking forward to be working with Muhsin because I have always admired him,’ Jele told Goal.

Jele went on to say that Pirates are going to try their best to win silverware during the upcoming season under Ertugral.

‘We are going to try our best to do well for the team and try to win something, but for now, although we lost the two finals we worked extremely hard to try and carry that (lessons) on for next season to be able to do well and win something,’ he added.

Due to injury, the Mpumalanga-born player could only manage to make 16 appearances in all competitions for the Buccaneers.
