Jose Riveiro Breaks Silence On Monnapule Saleng Saga At Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro on Wednesday spoke for the first time on the Monnapule Saleng saga that has been drawn out over several months.

For whatever reason there have been many speculated, the 26-year-old winger has been a bizarre absentee from the Pirates lineup going on three months, and last week it emerged that it may be due to a failed move abroad and unhappiness over his wages at the club.

Whether that is true or not has not been confirmed by the club itself.

After a move to Al Ahly reportedly fell through, Saleng opted not to attend training, which prompted his exclusion from the side since.

While Riveiro did not get into specifics on Salengs situation, reading between the lines was quite revealing.
