    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Riveiro has been heavily linked with a move to Al Ahly, a team he beat in Group C of the 2024/25 Caf Champions League; it ended 0-0 at Orlando Stadium before Bucs won 2-1 in Cairo.

    Pirates' physical trainer Carlos Nodar Paz could reportedly join Riveiro in North Africa as a member of Al Ahly's new technical team, having joined the Buccaneers prior to the start of this season.

    The Egyptian outfit opted to part ways with Marcel Koller, and contact has been reportedly made with Riveiro's agent.

    Having won five trophies with Pirates in Mzansi and helped push Masandawana for the Premier Soccer League crown, the Spaniard is among the highly rated tacticians in Africa.

    "Al-Ahly's management agreed with Rivero on a monthly salary of $135,000 (R2.4 million), including the salaries of his foreign assistants, bringing the total to $1,620,000 per year," Yallakora reported.

    "Al-Ahly also agreed with the Spanish coach to give him a three-month salary bonus if they win the CAF Champions League title, and a one-month salary for any other title."

    WHAT NEXT?

    Unlike Pirates, Al Ahly are strict when it comes to performance and titles, starting from local to international ones.

    Once confirmed, the massive task for Riveiro will be to ensure his team delivers in the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup to be played in the United States from June 14 to July 13.
