Jose puts team before records

On Tuesday, the Buccaneers beat Richards Bay 1-0 in a Betway Premiership clash at Orlando Stadium to set a new record for winning all their opening seven league fixtures.

And they achieved this feat during Riveiro's 100th game in charge of the side.

Riveiro, who joined the Buccaneers in July 2022, is the third Pirates coach to reach 100 games in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era after Ruud Krol and Milutin "Micho" Sredojevic.
