Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has broken his silence on his exit at the end of the season, insisiting he is fully focussed on the next match.
The Buccaneers shocked many in the local football fraternity on Thursday, announcing that Riveiro will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract in the end of June.
The Spaniard is in his third season at Mayfair, having lifted five trophies so far and is still chasing the Nedbank Cup, the CAF Champions League and the Betway Premiership.
Riveiro himself insisted he remains fully focussed on the club’s next match and will express himself at a latter stage.
“My priority right now is on our upcoming match against Polokwane City. This is a tough match. A match that needs our undivided attention and focus,” the told the club.
“The time will come for me to express myself on the decision I have made but now isn’t that time because we have a job to do. The season is far from over and we have a lot of work to do between now and the end of May.”
Pirates also confirmed they arrived back in South Africa on Thursday morning and will travel to Limpopo to prepare for their Betway Premiership clash against Rise and Shine which will be played at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium this Saturday.
Next Wednesday, they will face MC Alger in the second leg of their CAF Champions League quarter-final at Orlando Stadium.
