According to FARPost, Johnson, in a recent interview with former Kaizer Chiefs star Junior Khanye on his podcast, declared that he has supported Orlando Pirates since he was young.

During his time as Chiefs coach, he faced the Buccaneers, losing 3-2 at the FNB Stadium despite leading at half-time.

"When I was young, this is going to surprise some people. Locally, I have always been a fan of Orlando Pirates. It's the people's club," the former Al Ahly assistant manager said.

"When I was a teenager, I always went to Orlando. And Pirates, we could identify with Jomo Sono and many players at the club."

The South African tactician also confirmed what attracted him to being a Pirates supporter when he was young: his brother Graham Johnson represented the Bucs during his playing days.

"They always had a diversified team… we always had an excuse to go to Orlando," he added.

"If you were going to Orlando and the police stop and ask, 'What are you doing here?' We would lie and say, 'No, I'm going to watch my uncle'. Pirates always had a variety of players."
