Golden Arrows head coach Mandla Ncikazi has remained tight-lipped about reports of a possible breakdown in his relationship with former Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.
Ncikazi was recently questioned about his relationship with Ouaddou, who previously worked alongside him at Orlando Pirates before the two coaches went their separate ways. However, the Golden Arrows tactician avoided giving a direct answer when asked whether disagreements or personal differences had affected their professional relationship.
The question has attracted attention because of the history between the two coaches at the Soweto giants. Their time at Orlando Pirates placed them in the same technical environment, where working together was expected to contribute to the club's ambitions.
However, speculation about a possible disagreement has continued to generate interest among football followers, particularly following their respective departures and subsequent coaching responsibilities.
When asked about the situation, Ncikazi neither confirmed nor dismissed claims that his relationship with Ouaddou had deteriorated. Instead, his response appeared to leave room for further speculation about what might have happened behind the scenes.
The Golden Arrows coach also made a remark that caught the attention of those following the discussion, saying, "Every house has got a toilet…” His choice of words added another layer of curiosity to the conversation, although he did not provide a detailed explanation of what he meant.
Ncikazi's response has since raised questions about whether there were unresolved issues between the two coaches during their time working together at Orlando Pirates. Nevertheless, without a direct confirmation from either party, it would be premature to conclude that a serious disagreement occurred.
For now, the focus remains on Ncikazi's comments and the uncertainty surrounding his relationship with Ouaddou. Neither a clear confirmation nor a detailed account of the alleged breakdown has emerged from the information provided.
The situation is likely to remain a talking point among South African football supporters, especially those interested in the developments surrounding Orlando Pirates and the coaching careers of the two tacticians.
