Asked about his future with the Buccaneers in the latest segment of the Bucs Camp documentary, Riveiro was non-committal over whether he would look to extend his stay beyond the expiry of his current deal.

“I don’t want to know, I just want to live in the moment, the next training, the next game, the next opportunity to do what I like, to do what I love, which is to be the Orlando Pirates coach right now,” said Riveiro.

“Football is something that is totally unexpected and difficult to predict and to know where we are going to find ourselves in a space of one month, or four months, or six, or one year. So let’s rock for now.”

As it stands, it remains anybody’s guess as whether or not Riveiro will stay or leave Pirates when his contract expires at the end of the season.
