Orlando Pirates FC is facing a significant challenge in competing with Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, according to Khalil Ben Youssef, the former co-coach of Kaizer Chiefs. Ben Youssef spent two seasons at Chiefs, first as an assistant to Nasreddine Nabi and later as the club's co-coach alongside Cedric Kaze. He believes the squad that Chiefs had in the last two seasons could not compete with both Sundowns and Orlando Pirates FC for the league title. The main concern for Ben Youssef is the fact that the Soweto giants seem more ambitious than being realistic about their current situation. He shared with the management that the day Chiefs have at least six regular players in the Bafana Bafana setup, that's when they can be able to compete. Ben Youssef added that winning the Nedbank Cup, the Carling Knockout Cup, or any cup is not something they can build on. For Chiefs, if they want to compete for the PSL title, they need to bring in top players, then they can be ready to compete. Orlando Pirates FC's current situation is a challenge that the club needs to address. The club needs to focus on improving their squad to compete with the likes of Sundowns and Chiefs. Ben Youssef's comments highlight the challenges faced by Orlando Pirates FC in competing with top teams. The club's management needs to be realistic about their current situation and work towards improving their squad. With the right players, Orlando Pirates FC can compete for the league title. The quality gap between Orlando Pirates FC, Chiefs, and Sundowns is huge, and it will take time and effort to bridge this gap.
