Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro may have dropped the biggest hint on his future with the club.

Riveiro’s current contract with the Buccaneers expires at the end of the season, and his future continues to hog the headlines.

Now, following Pirates’ 2-1 win over log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday, Riveiro hinted that he could stay beyond June.

Nonetheless, the 49-year-old mentor was not as blanted in his statement, only saying if Pirates don’t win the league this season, they will try again next season.

And perhaps that’s indication enough that Riveiro as eager as Pirates fans to win the league with the club.

The Spaniard has, so far, delivered FIVE major trophies since joining the Soweto giants two-and-a-half-years ago.

ORLANDO PIRATES TO KEEP JOSE RIVEIRO?

“On Sunday, we know we got the results and immediately I will know that the team we are chasing didn’t get the results,” Riveiro told reporters.

“So, this is an opportunity to reduce the distance but it’s still a long way to go.

“We are playing with a team that is used to collect a lot of points, I’m sure it’s going to be a tight race if we are in the level that the challenge is asking.

“We are going to prove until the end of the season that we are at the level that the challenge is asking of each team in the league.”

“Let’s see if we are capable of doing it, and at the end of the season if we are not winning we will go again next season.

“I think that’s football, that’s life and we are there we’ll try every week to do the job and I’m so happy that we proved on Sunday that we are a serious team,” he concluded.
