The Orlando Pirates are set to take on Maritzburg United this Friday in the DStv Premiership, and the Buccaneers will be without their head coach, Jose Riveiro, who is suspended for the fixture. But the team is in good hands, with two experienced coaches set to take the reigns in his absence.
Sources close to the Bucs camp have indicated that Rhulani Mokwena and Fadlu Davids, who were co-coaches of the team last season, will be leading the team for the match. Mokwena, who is the current assistant coach, will take on the role of head coach, while Davids, who is the current Maritzburg United coach, will be on the bench alongside fellow assistant and Spanish coach Sergio Almenara.
The Buccaneers have been on a good run this season, having bagged three wins in a row before their loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in their last fixture. Mokwena and Davids were praised for their contribution to the team’s progress last season, and the team will be hoping that they can continue the momentum in Riveiro’s absence.
The match is sure to be an exciting one, and fans will be hoping that the Buccaneers can come out victorious in the end.
