Dladla was made an offer by Pirates to coach the club’s Diski Challenge team.
Last season saw Pirates’ MDC squad coached by a number of coaches, including Zipho Dlangalala and Benson Mhlongo.
Dladla has had two fruitful seasons with Real Kings, helping the team gain promotion to the National First Division from the ABC Motsepe League.
“I was flattered by the offer from Orlando Pirates, this means I am doing a great job where I am right now, I have three meetings with the club but it wouldn’t have been right for me to leave the club right now considering that Siya Mdluli left for Maritzburg United,” Dladla told Isolwzwe.
