Monyane: We Want The Treble This Season

Orlando Pirates defender Thabiso Monyane has outlined the club’s ambitious targets for the 2024/25 season, including a potential treble.

The right-back was among the players showcasing the club’s new home and away kits on Monday.

As reigning MTN8 and Nedbank Cup champions, Pirates are eager to build on their recent success. Despite finishing second in the league last season, 23 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns, Monyane attributed the shortfall to a slow start and expressed determination to improve.

“First and foremost, as you know, we haven’t started the last season as good as we wanted to and we’re looking to rectify that,” asserted Monyane.  

“Starting the season well, and that’s contributing to the league of course and also retaining our titles which is the MTN8 and well as the Nedbank and also adding one in the cabinet and making it a treble. So, those are our ambitions, those are our goals and there is so much at stake.”   

Monyane further emphasized the team’s desire for progress in the CAF Champions League: “We’re looking forward to actually competing you know, and we don’t want to repeat the mistakes of which we committed last season because we don’t want to bow out very soon in the CAF space and we are looking forward to going all the way and getting the second star.”

Pirates were eliminated in the second preliminary round last season by Botswana’s Jwaneng Galaxy and will face Madagascar’s SC-Disciples in the opening round of this year’s campaign.
