Happy Jele, the legendary captain of the Orlando Pirates, could leave the Soweto giants. In fact, his future is now under discussion, and it doesn’t look good.
Despite the Pirates’ biggest exit currently looking likely, the transfer window is far from over.
Bucs management are now debating Jele’s future in meetings. According Unplayableit becomes more likely that the veteran with a 400+ cap will go.
Jele is the current Buccaneers captain and the team’s only remaining legend.
Like rivals Kaizer Chiefs, the club would have to pick a new captain if they were to leave. In order to replace Bernard Parker, Amakhosi must choose Itumeleng Khune to serve as interim captain.
He may be made permanent captain by Kaizer and Bobby Motaung, Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard, but only time will tell.
It’s an important choice for the Buccaneers and arguably the most important for Jose Riveiro and Mandla Ncikazi.
BIG DECISION❗❗❗#UNPLAYABLE Sources reveal that Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele’s future is seriously in doubt at the club.
