Former Orlando Pirates player Tito has opened up about his experience working under the club’s head coach, offering an honest insight into their relationship and the coach’s demanding approach.
According to Tito, the coach is someone who knows exactly how he wants his team to play and is not afraid to make his expectations clear. Despite the pressure that comes with playing under a demanding manager, Tito believes the coach deserves credit for his methods and the way he approaches the game.
“He’s a good coach who does things his way,” Tito explained.
However, Tito admitted that there was one part of their working relationship that he struggled to enjoy. The midfielder revealed that he did not like being shouted at during training or matches, joking that sometimes the coach treated him as though he were a young child.
“But I hate it when he shouts at me like I’m his baby,” Tito said.
The comments give supporters a glimpse into the personality behind the scenes at Pirates. While Tito clearly respects the coach’s abilities, his remarks also show that the relationship between a player and manager can involve plenty of tension, especially when high standards are involved.
For Tito, being coached by a manager with such a strong personality was part of the learning experience. Despite not always enjoying the criticism, he appears to appreciate what the coach demanded from him and the team.
His candid comments are likely to spark plenty of debate among Orlando Pirates supporters, particularly those interested in what happens behind closed doors at the club.
