If only he can stop his Arrogancy, he will go far at Pirates. He must stop swearing at officials and everybody, it is not good for the Beautiful game. Good luck on your mile stone, just be polite, you will one day reap the rewards

The problem with Rats is that he could be fired before the season ends without being given enough time to prove himself

shaka@u put it very well man, am a chiefs fun, pirates need a "big" coach ,palocios thought he will do it but he failed, when I look at De Sa's record, 139 wins, 134 draws and 112 LOSSES, I dot think he is a good coach, unless if he is not going to play for a sliverware like what he was doing at wits. wits is playing only to keep their status at PSL.

He's the best coach and very desciplined who does not beg any player and he always choose on merits, so I think he's right for Pirates. As a Pirates supporter I used to hate him for his actions when Wits beat Pirates but now I am 100% behind him and there'll be a big difference from the two games where Pirates lost 3-0 on both.

An arrogant and rough coach is the right one, once a coach is too soft, players do as they plese i like him for his arrogancy, his roughness and being stubbon. HE IS REALLY THE BEST COACH IN SA.

Welcome to the ship/yatch De sa. You are now coaching a big team where winning is a culture. Complaining, name calling & moarning is the thing of the past.

You are right baba,am wondering why Sowetan cant publish the passing of this great son of Africa,Oom Dan Setshedi,i loved this man with all my heart...Oom Dan was the first black commentator to talk about soccer statistics...i learned a lot from him....he would say the game is 60% against 40%...aish..yes,you see that Oom Dan was a great Mathematics teacher...sad to loose Oom Dan..

RIP Oom Dan..

To all the Pirate supporters; welcome the coach, give him a chance to fail or succeed, let all the others do the predictions, let us focus on the reality (that is we have a good team and a good coach).

If FIRECRACKERS FC win a cup under Mr Batman, I'll apoligize to all the RODENTS in this blog. I still maintain though that RODENTS FC will not win a single cup under Mr Batman.

it seems as if everyone was interested in this coach but not brave enough to sign him up. let him be given a chance and respect by players and suporters as management has got a strong believe in him, and to chiefs suporters you have got your new coach, but it took you a decate to realise your old coach was not delivering
