Orlando Pirates winger warns Mofokeng, Nkota and Sesane
A former Orlando Pirates player has warned Mofokeng, Nkota and Sesane. Do you think it was the right thing to do?
Orlando Pirates fans are in dreamland.
Sitting first on the log, they’ve won all seven of their league games for the first time in the club’s history, and can extend their historic run to eight when they face Stellenbosch FC on December 1.
It’s easy to get carried away when the going gets good – former Orlando Pirates star Thabo Rakhale has offered the club’s youngsters Relehobile Mofokeng, Mohau Nkota and Thabiso Sesane some words of wisdom.
“To Rele, Nkota and Thabiso Sesane, my advice is they should stay humble, strive to be better than yesterday and always keep their feet on the ground,” Rakhale told FARPost.
“It’s so nice to see the young ones in a big team doing the most like they do. Already, they have shown the bravery side of them.
“I don’t see anything stopping them from reaching higher. They are doing well; the future looks bright for the team.”
Jose Riverio’s future unclear
“There is an offer for the coach to continue for another three years, but he has asked to wait until the end of the season. His main wish is to win the league, and if that happens, he may leave because he misses home,” an anonymous source explained.
“The league title may decide the coach’s future. That’s what’s believed as things stand.”
The source suggests that Riveiro is hoping to bow out in style, ending Orlando Pirates 13-year PSL drought, making it six major trophies during his tenure.
“Nothing has been agreed upon because the coach hasn’t made up his mind. He has made it clear that he misses home and family. And will only consider his future at the end of the season. However, the club has already opened talks with his representatives, hoping for the best outcome.”
