With the season nearing its end and the search for a new coach still going on behind the scenes, Orlando Pirates caretaker coach Augusto Palacios remains mum about his chances of taking over on a fulltime basis. 

Palacios is in his second spell as caretaker coach after the club suspended and eventually sacked Julio Leal, but he would not be drawn into whether this time could become permanent. 
 
“My focus is on winning all the remaining matches; I don’t want to talk about other things [like taking over fulltime],” ‘Njenje’ tellsKickOff.com. 
 
“I was brought in here to bring in discipline, play good football and win matches. I respect the chairman and what he has asked me to do until the end of the season.”
 
Since he took over, Pirates have lost two matches against Santos and Free State Stars, won two against Kaizer Chiefs and Free State Stars and drew against Mamelodi Sundowns. Palacios says he is happy with the results so far.
 
“I’m happy with the results and the fact that players are responding. I don’t want to talk about winning the League; I just want to focus on winning the remaining matches.”
