With the Betway Premiership set to resume at Orlando Stadium next season, Pirates supporters remain unsure about who will take charge from the sidelines.
After a successful three-year spell where legendary Spaniard Jose Riveiro claimed three MTN8 titles and two Nedbank Cups, he has now moved on to join African powerhouse Al Ahly.
Local reports suggest that Rulani Mokwena and Pablo Franco Martin are frontrunners in the race to become the next Pirates coach.
When Will the New Coach Be Announced?
Rumours hint that Orlando Pirates plan to begin their pre-season camp in Spain during the first week of July. According to Soccer Laduma, the club aims to reveal the new head coach in the final week of June.
An insider shared,
“The coach will definitely be in place by the time the squad returns for pre-season. Everything is ready, but the announcement depends on one person. Fans should expect the news just before the team’s trip to Spain.”
With the big reveal imminent, Pirates fans won’t have to wait much longer to know who will lead their beloved club into the new campaign.
