Soweto giants Orlando Pirates have won South Africa’s Premier Soccer League (PSL) title for the first time in 14 years.

The Buccaneers were crowned champions on Saturday following a 2-0 win over Orbit College at the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.

Pirates ended the season with 69 points, just one ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns, who had dominated the league for eight straight seasons.

Bucs coach Abdelsam Ouaddou reflected on their success, but hinted he may not be there next season.

“I work with passion, I work with love and it’s difficult to lead such a big team like Orlando Pirates. It was a very difficult season and I’m tired, I’m very very tired,” said Pirates coach, Abdelsam Ouaddou.

“To be able to lead such a ship you need to be (emotionally okay). I will sit and I will think – sit down with my management as well. I’m tired, we’ll speak about next season, about what can happen.

“I need energy, I need power. Without energy, it will be difficult to continue. We will sit. I’m speaking with emotions. It was a long season with lots of pressure. And we’ll speak, we will see.”

This is Pirates’s fifth title in the PSL era, which dates back to the 1996/97 season.

Orbit College, meanwhile, was automatically relegated on the last day of the season. They will campaign in the Motsepe Foundation Championship next season.
