Why Pitso Mosimane Is The Perfect Replacement For Orlando Pirates' Departing Jose Riveiro

Now that Orlando Pirates have confirmed Jose Riveiro s exit, they have a golden opportunity to take the club to the next level starting with one crucial phone call to Pitso Mosimane .

The Soweto giants announced on Thursday afternoon that the Spaniard will be stepping down from his position as the clubs head coach when his contract expires at the end of the season.

But, Riveiros departure shouldnt be seen as bad news, especially with former Sundowns boss Pitso Mosimane currently without a job after leaving Iranian club Esteghlal.

In South African football, no one has a better CV than Mosimane, who won five league titles with Sundowns, and led them to the promise land as they won the CAF Champions League back in 2016. He was able to win two more continental titles with Egyptian giants Al Ahly, before guiding Saudi Arabias Al Ahli back to the countrys top-flight.

When it comes to winning, Mosimane has done it all before, and if Pirates are serious about unseating Sundowns at the top of the table, he is someone they should seriously be considering as Riveiros successor.
