Orlando Pirates fans have every reason to celebrate.
The team has stormed to the top of the league table with an unbeaten run, clinching victory in all seven of their league games.
This marks the first time in the club’s history they’ve achieved such a feat.
With a match against Stellenbosch FC on December 1, the Pirates have an opportunity to extend their winning streak to eight games, cementing their dominance further.
Former Star’s Advice to Rising Talents
While the team’s success is making headlines, former Orlando Pirates star Thabo Rakhale has shared words of encouragement for the club’s young stars: Relehobile Mofokeng, Mohau Nkota, and Thabiso Sesane.
Speaking to FARPost, Rakhale emphasized the importance of humility and continuous self-improvement.
“To Rele, Nkota, and Thabiso Sesane, my advice is they should stay humble, strive to be better than yesterday, and always keep their feet on the ground,” Rakhale said.
He praised their bravery and performance, noting their potential to achieve great heights in the sport.
“It’s inspiring to see young players making such an impact in a big team.
They’re doing exceptionally well, and the future looks bright for the team with talents like them,” he added.
Questions Surrounding Coach Jose Riveiro’s Future
Amid the team’s success, uncertainty looms over coach Jose Riveiro’s future.
According to an insider, the club has offered him a three-year extension, but Riveiro has chosen to delay any decisions until the end of the season.
The source revealed that his primary goal is to secure the league title.
“There is an offer for the coach to continue for another three years, but he has asked to wait until the end of the season.
His main wish is to win the league, and if that happens, he may leave because he misses home,” the source explained.
Riveiro’s potential departure would be bittersweet, as he aims to end Orlando Pirates’ 13-year PSL title drought.
During his tenure, he has already guided the team to five major trophies, with the league title potentially becoming the crowning achievement.
Talks Ongoing but No Decision Yet
The club has initiated discussions with Riveiro’s representatives in hopes of securing his stay.
However, the coach has made it clear that his decision will depend on how the season concludes.
“Nothing has been agreed upon because the coach hasn’t made up his mind.
He has made it clear that he misses home and family and will only consider his future at the end of the season,” the source added.
With the Pirates in exceptional form, fans eagerly await not just the continuation of their winning streak but also clarity on their coach’s plans.
Will Riveiro’s journey with Orlando Pirates conclude on a historic high note, or will he opt for a return to his roots? Time will reveal the next chapter for both the coach and the team.
