Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer is not worried about the Absa Premiership title as he is focused on preparing his side for next season.

The Buccaneers has rediscovered their form under Zinnbauer and since his arrival Pirates have only lost two games in 11 matches, playing to two draws and winning seven games across all competitions.

That form has seen Pirates occupy fourth place in the league standings with 40 points from 23 games, trailing log leaders Kaizer Chiefs by eight points.

However, Zinnbauer refuse to talk about his sides title chances as he would be satisfied with a finish in the top three in order to book their place in next year’s Caf competitions.

‘We don’t speak about the title. Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns have more points than us. Our focus is to improve the team. We take it one game at a time, we are not focused on catching up with Kaizer Chiefs or Sundowns,’ Zinnbauer told the media.

‘It’s normal for the press to ask questions about the title and I understand but for 10 weeks I have been here (and) no one was asking about the title, no one was asking if we were going to catch up with Kaizer Chiefs. We had gained a point and we are in step into the right direction. But the focus is really for next season, but our concentration now is to get to the end of the season because it is not yet finished. In football anything is possible.

‘We have left a lot of points behind. But I think we have been having a very good season. If you give me a top three place and a chance to play in Africa then I will take it.’
