Orlando Pirates boss Jose Riveiro seems eager to give youngsters a chance ahead of the 2024-2025 campaign. Here are two more.
Muma has confirmed that DStv Diski Challenge academy product Bayanda Zulu practiced with the senior side. The 19-year-old goalkeeper might find that his pathway to the first team is blocked at the moment, but it’s a promising sign for the youngster. Meanwhile, the other is the versatile 17-year-old defender Dimpho Madalane, who can operate on either flank or even in the heart of defence. Recently, Mohau Nkota was also invited to test his mettle alongside the senior stars.
We’ve all heard that saying, first uttered by the legendary Man United boss Sir Matt Busby, who was in charge of the Red Devils between 1945 and 1969 and again for the second half of the 1970–1971 campaign. That team was known for blooding young talents, and the current Orlando Pirates class could be following suit. Riveiro echoes Busby’s ethos:
“If you’re good enough if you are ready, and if you feel like you can contribute towards the team’s success . There’s going to be an opportunity for everyone. We need to check these young boys if they’re in a good space ,” the Orlando Pirates tactician concluded.Will the Sea Robbers go all the way in 2025?Orlando Pirates finished the 2023-2024 DStv Premiership campaign in second place, earning a spot in the 2024-2025 Caf Champions League.
