“I want to thank the entire Orlando Pirates family. The staff, technical team, medical staff, board members, management, and players. I couldn’t have asked for a better working environment than this. It’s been a fantastic, action-packed four years of my journey,” Richard Ofori said.
“We won and lost games, but every game felt like our lives depended on it” he added
“The time has now come for me to open a new chapter in my career,” Ofori wrote, marking his decision to transition to AmaZulu.
