The Carling Cup clash between Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Pirates is set to take place at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Sredojevic held a meeting with Federation for Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) president Moses Magogo on Monday, but it is believed that Magogo failed to convince him to stay on a Cranes coach.
Sredojevic confirmed the meeting on his Twitter account, but could not say if whether or not he stay.
“As agreed on constructive talks with FUFA I got few days of deserved rest until issues sorted or not. All other stories are mere speculations (sic),” wrote Sredojevic.
