Impact Of Jose Riveiro's Departure From Orlando Pirates On Monnapule Saleng: What Fans Need To Know

After the shock announcement of Jose Riveiro s resignation on Thursday, effective at the end of the season, Orlando Pirates fans may be left wondering if Monnapule Saleng may also be leaving the club soon.

Saleng has not featured for Pirates since December, and with no apparent injury, his absence is believed to be down to a wage dispute .

The club, however, has not confirmed anything about the Salenge issue except that he is not on the latest injury list released earlier this week.

The connection between Saleng and Riviero, though, was made last month.

According to a Soccer Laduma source, getting Saleng back into the Pirates team could be one of the top priorities for Riveiro: He Saleng was one of the first names on the coachs lineups. It is without a doubt that he is one of the players whose talent the coach admires. The coach would love to have him in his team again, even if it's beyond this season.
