“I’m extremely proud, very happy. I’m proud of my players, they have
worked so hard for this,” Riveiro said.
Jose Riveiro, coach of South African football club Orlando Pirates,
expressed his immense pride after guiding the team to a third trophy on
Saturday night. The Buccaneers claimed the MTN8 title for the second
successive year after defeating Mamelodi Sundowns in a penalty shootout.
Riveiro, a Spaniard, was eager to avoid discussing the details of the
match, instead choosing to focus on the collective effort of his players.
“I’m extremely proud, very happy. I’m proud of my players, they have
worked so hard for this,” he said.
The MTN8 victory marks the second consecutive year that Orlando Pirates
have won the title, and it is the third trophy that Riveiro has secured
since taking over as coach in October.
Riveiro’s success has been attributed to his emphasis on team spirit and a
positive atmosphere. He has been praised for his ability to motivate his
players and bring out the best in them.
The Orlando Pirates’ victory over Mamelodi Sundowns was a testament to the
hard work and dedication of the players and their coach, and Riveiro is
thrilled to have achieved such success in such a short time.
