The club is reportedly looking to reinforce its technical team following a string of disappointing results.
As previously reported by the Siya crew, head coach Dan 'Dance' Malesela faces an uncertain future at Gallants, as the team continues to struggle in the relegation battle.
Their latest setback – a 3-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns at Dr. Molemela Stadium in Bloemfontein last night – has further fuelled speculation about Malesela's tenure.
"The team's position on the log (14th and one point above Magesi FC) is a major concern for the club, and they need to act fast to avoid a crisis," a source revealed.
Regarding the potential appointment of Ouaddou, insiders at the Bloemfontein-based club have hinted that negotiations with the former Moroccan international are in the final stages.

"The deal is close. The coach arrived in the country earlier this week, and it's now just about finalising the details. From what I've seen, both parties seem happy," the source confirmed.
Ouaddou, 46, has been unattached since leaving Congolese side AS Vita Club in September.
