Orlando Pirates fans hoping for a reunion with Benni McCarthy will have to wait a bit longer.

Despite swirling rumors linking the former South African football star with a return to the PSL, McCarthy has made it clear that he is staying put in Kenya.

McCarthy Committed to His Role in Kenya

According to a reliable source close to McCarthy, the talk of him leaving his current position as coach of the Kenyan national team is nothing but speculation.

The source shared with Soccer Laduma, “The rumors about Benni McCarthy going to Orlando Pirates are just that – rumors.

I was with Benni yesterday, and he is really happy in Kenya.”

The source emphasized that McCarthy is in no rush to leave his role as coach of the Kenyan national team, known as the Harambee Stars.

In fact, it was confirmed that McCarthy met with the U20 Kenya team after their return from Egypt, where he was reviewing their performance.

McCarthy’s Focus Is On Harambee Stars

McCarthy’s dedication to his current team is evident.

The source continued, “Benni is committed to Kenya and has no plans to leave.

The rumors started in South Africa, not here in Kenya.”

With McCarthy happy in his current role, it appears that any potential move to Orlando Pirates will remain a distant dream for their supporters.

The coach, who has a rich history in South African football, is firmly focused on his work with Kenya’s national team.

As for the future, Orlando Pirates will have to look elsewhere for their next managerial appointment.
