Riveiro joins Pirates on a three-year deal. His announcement on Saturday came as a shock as coaches such as Gavin Hunt, Ruud Krol, Pablo Franco Martin, Benni McCarthy, Dan Malesela, and Pitso Mosimane were linked to the head coach position at Pirates.However, the Soweto giants have, in fact, gone the European route in the past, bringing in unknown coaches who lack success in terms of trophies and have little experience on the touchline.
Riveiro, who comes with his technical team of Sergio Almenara as an assistant coach and Miguel Bellver Esteve as a fitness trainer, only got his first taste in a head coaching position in 2018 with Finland outfit FC Inter Turku. He will also be assisted by Mandla Ncikazi and Tyron Damons as Goalkeeper Coach.The 46-year-old with a UEFA Pro Licence enters uncharted territory as the Bucs coaching gig will be his first on the African continent.
Riveiro’s notable achievement is guiding Inter Turku to a second-place finish in Veikkausliiga and competing in the 2021/22 UEFA Conference League qualifying stages.
