Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro embracing final chapter with the Buccaneers as he aims to end his historic tenure on a high with more silverware - 'We have to go until the end with victories'

Orlando Pirates booked their place in the Nedbank Cup final after defeating Marumo Gallants in a tightly contested semi-final.

The Buccaneers will now prepare for a titanic clash against arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs.

Jose Riveiro, who will leave the club at the end of the season, has one more shot at finishing his tenure on a high.

Having already delivered success during his three-year spell, Riveiro now has the opportunity to defend the Nedbank Cup.

Speaking to the media after the match, the 49-year-old expressed pride in his team’s performance and emphasized the importance of the remaining games.

Pirates are not only in contention for domestic silverware but are also pushing for continental glory in the Caf Champions League.

The final stretch of the season promises to be a historic one for both Riveiro and the club.

“Final after final even in the league, we know that if we want to do something big, we cannot lose any of the games,” said Riveiro as reported by iDiski Times.

“We have to go until the end with victories, we have one final in the cup, and we have a semi-final in the Champions League, and it’s a historical moment for the club, for the fans, and all of us.

“So, stressful but at the same time I think exciting for all of us, we living in a special moment in our careers as individuals and as a collective so let’s enjoy it together until then ends.”

Pirates are on the brink of an incredible season, with the possibility of winning four trophies.

Facing Chiefs twice, in the league and the cup final adds intensity and weight to an already monumental campaign.

Securing these trophies could solidify Riveiro’s legacy as one of the club’s most successful coaches.

It would also boost the confidence and stature of the club on the continent ahead of future seasons.

Pirates will now shift their focus to the Caf Champions League semi-final, where they face Pyramids in the first leg.

It's a crucial tie that could edge them closer to a historic continental crown.
