Orlando Pirates have officially appointed Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic as their new head coach ahead of next season.

Micho’s arrival comes a day after Kjell Jonevret resigned from his post following a tough six-month spell that saw the club miss out on a top eight finish at the end of last term.

He quit as head coach of Uganda on Saturday‚ six months after leading the Cranes to their first Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament in 38 years.

The coach is remembered by giving a teenage Senzo Meyiwa his debut against AmaZulu in a league match won 2-1 by The Bucs at Ellis Park on November 8‚ 2006.

Micho started off his African coaching expedition with Ugandan club SC Villa in 2001 until 2004, where he guided the Jogoos to three successive league titles.

After there, his adventure took him to Ethiopa where he also enjoyed title-winning success with St George .

Micho then joined Orlando Pirates, Young African FC of Tanzania, then back to St. George and then headed to Susan where he coached Al-Hilal Omdurman.

He joined Rwanda national side before becoming Uganda Cranes head coach.
