And latest reports suggest the Buccaneers are not looking to rope in the former SuperSport United, Wits and Kaizer Chiefs coach at Mayfair.

Orlando Pirates have lost just once in their last 10 matches and according to an insider, Ncikazi and Davids have done enough to secure their roles at the club until at least the end of the season.

The duo strengthened their case with an impressive 2-0 win over LPRC Oilers in the first leg of their CAF Confederation Cup additional preliminary round clash in Liberia on Sunday.

Orlando Pirates not interested in Gavin Hunt says club insider

“No, there is no way that Hunt is coming to Orlando Pirates. Well, at least for now because don’t know what might happen in the coming years,” an unnamed insider told Citizen.

“I think the person who started this rumour is someone who just wants to see Gavin coaching Orlando Pirates, nothing more. If there is one thing I can tell you, coach Mandla and coach Davids will finish the season as management are behind them.”
