Pirates chasing quadruple in Jose Riveiro’s farewell season

ORLANDO Pirates are on the brink of history as they chase an unprecedented quadruple under head coach Jose Riveiro, who is set to part ways with the club at the end of the 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 MTN8 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.
