A former Orlando Pirates player who is based in Finland has lifted the lid on the Buccaneers’ new coach José Riveiro.
Pirates announced Riveiro as the new man in charge for the next three years.
The Spaniard’s last job was with Inter Turku in the Finland topflight where Yanga Baliso plies his trade.
Baliso knows Riveiro well, having spent the last two seasons in Northern Europe.
The IFK Mariehamn midfielder said the 46-year-old mentor commands a lot of respect in the European nation bordering Sweden, Norway and Russia.
“He’s a very good coach whose team plays good football. He’s Spanish so he likes his team to dominate with the ball and aggressive attacks,” Baliso told FARPost from his Mariehamn base.
He further revealed that Riveiro’s team “was always top three”.
