Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has eulogized the South African top-flight league, insisting it has changed his life.
The Spanish tactician is expected to depart the Soweto giants at the end of the season, ending his three year stint with the club.
As his outfit gear up for the final Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs, Riveiro has paid tribute to the South African league.
The much-anticipated clash between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will held at the iconic FNB Stadium.
“Personally, this league has changed my life. I am impressed by the league, not just my players. It’s a pleasure to have such talented footballers. I always tell them that they make me happy when I get to manage such talent.
We’re striving for victory. It’s important for us and for our fans. We need to get back to our previous level. We understand the full responsibility [in the Soweto derby], we are a team of winners. This is my last derby at FNB. This place is special not only for me, but also for the players,” Riveiro told the club’s press service.
