Pirates announced the appointment of the Spanish born Riveiro as the head coach last weekend.
Orlando Pirates legend James Mothibi believes Adel Amrouche was the best option for the club's head coach position.
“The coach does not have experience, that alone raises a lot of questions, especially for a big club like Pirates. At Pirates, there is a lot of pressure, so that already puts him in the spotlight. You are not just there to be a coach, but you are there to represent people, people who died for the club, people who are paying to get into the stadium with their hard earned money,” said Mothibi.
‘Does he know Pirates? Does he know that Pirates play in Africa? Yes, we might have not qualified to play in the Caf games for next season , but that doesn’t really mean Pirates is not a big team.” Mothibi believes former MC Alger and Botswana national team coach Adel Amrouche was the best candidate for the job.
