Orlando Pirates supporters could have never met the great Jose Riveiro.
PABLO FRANCO MARTIN CONFIRMS ORLANDO PIRATES INTEREST
According to the former AmaZulu coach Martin, the Sea Robbers once tabled an offer for his services while the Spaniard was still in charge of Tanzanian giants Simba SC.
“When I was at Simba I received a proposal from them [Orlando Pirates] but it was not the right time,” Martin told FARPost.
“When I am involved in a project, I like to respect the club, the people I work with and the fans, so I don’t like to leave even when I receive a better offer. But as a coach, of course, I always want to train the best teams as possible.
“Orlando Pirates are such a big club, and they are right now in the place they deserve, winning trophies and being dominant on the continent.
“Since I arrived in SA, I have always said that the credit is for their players and technical staff, but also for their owner and board because they believed in a project and supported them in the bad days. That is why they are collecting trophies now,” Martin concluded on Orlando Pirates.
In the meantime, Martin is in charge of Al-Faisaly in Saudi Arabia.
