Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer is happy with his current squad but has not ruled out the possibility of signing new players before the January transfer window closes.

The German mentor hasn’t been active during the current transfer window, not bringing in any players to further bolster their squad as they look to continue their current form in the Absa Premiership.

Zinnbauer has recently released – on loan – defender Justice Chabalala to Bloemfontein Celtic and defender Paseka Mako to Maritzburg United.

However, with two days left until the transfer window closes, Zinnbauer hasn’t ruled out the possibility of signing new players as he believes ‘in football anything is possible’.

‘We have four wins in a row in my time, but perhaps if we lose one game then it’s not so easy and you could say we need new players,’ Zinnbauer told the media.

‘But we have the points and we make most of the time a good performance, so we have a good squad. Yes, the market is open but we are happy with the squad at the moment.

‘It’s not necessary to go into the market for new players. In time we will search and get new players, but we have time maybe for a new signing. In football anything is possible.’

Orlando Pirates will next travel to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to face Chippa United in their Absa Premiership clash on Saturday, with kick-off set for 6pm.
