Watch the full version of the “Crisis in Soweto: Orlando Pirates’ Jose Riveiro to walk away?“ article – in a minute.

A cloud of uncertainty hangs over Orlando Pirates, carrying the potential for significant ramifications. The Soweto giants have been restored to winnings ways under Jose Riveiro, who’s collected five trophies in three years; however, the league title remains elusive.

With Riveiro’s contract concluding on June 31, Orlando Pirates have made several attempts to tie down the Spanish native, who remains reluctant to put pen to paper, informing the club that he will decide after the season.

Riveiro is highly regarded among the Orlando Pirates ranks, begging the question: In a world where coaches come and go like seasons in the year, why leave when you have something so secure?

However, three years on and five trophies later, there may be a sense of satisfaction that deems it enough to return home, knowing he revived one of Africa’s biggest clubs, albeit missing out on league glory.
