Is Jose Riveiro’s time at Pirates coming to an end? Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has yet to decide on his future with the club as his current contract expires at the end of June this year.
Reports indicate that Pirates have offered him a three-year extension, which would keep him at the club until the 2028/29 season. However, Riveiro has asked to wait until the end of the current season before making any decisions.
A source revealed, “There is an offer for the coach to continue for another three years, but he wants to wait until the season ends. His main goal is to win the league, and if that happens, he may leave because he misses his home and family.”
It is believed that the outcome of the league title race could ultimately determine Riveiro’s future. While no agreement has been reached yet, the club has already begun talks with his representatives, hoping for a favorable resolution.
