Jose to bring about MAJOR changes at Orlando Pirates?

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro is reportedly hitting the emergency button at the Buccaneers due to their shocking form.

The Buccaneers crashed out of the CAF Champions League during the preliminary round of the tournament and sit in 13th position on the DStv Premiership log standings.

They’ve managed to pick up just seven points from their opening five matches, and despite qualifying for the MTN8 final, they’ve looked far from convincing as the defending champions.

Jose Riveiro at a loss for words

“It’s difficult to explain that in the last four games we scored only one goal and the way we did it today was a rebound or ugly goal.” the Orlando Pirates coach said after his side were eliminated from the CAF Champions League by Jwaneng Galaxy.

“It’s a difficult day. It’s not acceptable. Our team is built and prepared to go to the Champions League group stage so we cannot accept this result and only say that we were unlucky.”
