Pitso Mosimane will replace Jose Riveiro as Orlando Pirates coach?!!
Spanish coach Jose Riveiro is set to leave Orlando Pirates at the end of the season when his contract expires.
With Jose Riveiro set to leave Orlando Pirates, Pitso Mosimane is likely to be his replacement.
The Spaniard joined the Buccaneers in 2022, and in three seasons, he has helped the team secure five trophies: three MTN8 titles and two Nedbank Cups.
This success places Riveiro among the best coaches in Pirates’ history during the PSL era.
His contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and it appears that Riveiro has no desire to extend his stay.
He mentioned last year that he misses his family back in Spain.
It makes sense that the Orlando Pirates management will do everything possible to convince Riveiro to stay for one more season.
Given the progress the team has made, it would be unfortunate for the coach to leave without winning at least a league title.
After losing four of their last nine games, the Buccaneers’ title hopes have diminished, but they still have the Nedbank Cup to defend.
One positive note is that the Soweto giants are still competing in the CAF Champions League.
How will the team replace Riveiro at Orlando Pirates?.
Former Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane is available and could step in.
Mosimane has won five league titles with the Brazilians before moving to Al Ahly.
If the Buccaneers are looking for an experienced coach, Mosimane is the man who could help end their league drought.
Replacing Riveiro with Mosimane would be an upgrade for Orlando Pirates.
The only challenge is that the club’s management will need to invest significantly to afford Mosimane’s services.
