Pirates chasing quadruple in Rivero’s farewell season

The Buccaneers remain — although they’d need favours - in contention for the Premiership title, the CAF Champions League and the Nedbank Cup, and have already captured the MINS and are staring down a feat never achieved by a South African outfit.

Riveiro, who joined the Soweto giants in 2022, has transformed the team into a formidable force both domestically and on the continent.

Known for his tactical discipline and calm demeanour, the Spanish coach has already delivered silverware in previous campaigns - five, to be exact.

Still, this season promises to be his most memorable.

The Sea Robbers have not shown remarkable consistency in the Premiership, but could go neck-and-neck with long-time rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in a fierce title race if they win their games in hand.
