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.
