Linda Mntambo has been at Orlando Pirates but is yet to command a regular starting berth. His German coach Josef Zinnbauer, however, has said Mntambo is an integral part of his plans going forward.Linda"Figo" Mntambo is proving to be a critical impact player for Orlando Pirates this season and the utility midfielder’s commitment to the cause has thrilled coach Josef Zinnbauer.

“Figo is a very flexible player. He can play in many positions in a game and that's important for us. In the past two weeks against [Kaizer] Chiefs he came on and scored. But the 31-year-old Mntambo is still not a regular starter at Pirates three years after arriving from Chippa United. The MTN8 semifinal second leg tie against Soweto arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs will have been a highlight for Mntambo after he came on in the last 43 minutes of the match to seal a 2-0 triumph that saw Bucs win the game 5-0 on aggregate.
