Riveiro Has Fire In His Belly For More Trophies

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - OCTOBER 10: Thomas Mlambo and Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro during the Carling Knockout Cup launch at The Park, House of Events on 7 on October 10, 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Buccaneers have won all trophies on offer, except the Premiership and the Caf Champions League, since they appointed Riveiro at the beginning of last season, as they retained the MTN8 Cup after beating Mamelodi Sundowns in the final on Saturday, 3-1 on penalties, after a goalless draw in extra-time.This extended their trophy haul under the Spanish tactician to three in the space of 15 months, after they also won the Nedbank Cup in the last game of last season.

The Spanish mentor says he has no problem with the favourites tag, as they are a big team anyway and there's expectations to win the cup. "Football is about the last game you played, right now we're in a good space obviously, I'm not gonna lie, after winning one more trophy, the level of the opposition on Saturday…epic victory for us, it's gonna be a boost but we have to put our mind in the next one," Riveiro told journalists at the Carling Knockout Cup launch.
