Orlando Pirates confirmed on Monday that head coach Eric Tinkler will continue to lead the team next season but withheld the length of his new contract.
Tinkler took charge of the Sea Robbers’ ship in December 2013 following the resignation of Vladimir Vermezovic and steered them to a fourth place on the Premiership.
“There is no reason to change anything as this might have a negative effect on the momentum Eric has managed to build”, chairman Irvin Khoza told the clubs official website.
“Continuity is important in football. It is important from both a physical and psychological standpoint. Eric’s hand is getting sturdier with time. There is no need to interrupt his growing momentum”, Khoza added.
