The Moroccan coach Abdessalam Ouaddou, 46, resumed training with Orlando Pirates on Tuesday morning, having recovered from the car accident that he and several members of the technical staff suffered last week.

This comeback comes just days before the much-anticipated MTN8 final against Stellenbosch FC. The Pirates are aiming for a fourth consecutive title, further cementing their dominance on the national stage.Orlando Pirates booked their spot in the final after defeating Polokwane City 2-0 in the quarter-finals and knocking out Mamelodi Sundowns on penalties (4-1), following back-to-back 2-2 draws. On the other side, Stellenbosch FC secured their place in the final by beating AmaZulu FC 3-2 and Sekhukhune United 3-1.The final will be played on September 13 at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, South Africa.Recall that Ouaddou and several staff members were involved in a highway accident after the 3-0 victory over Chippa United, which temporarily forced him to step aside from his coaching duties.
