(The Post News) – Orlando Pirates News dominates the headlines after a string of impressive results. The Buccaneers have regained their form, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Pirates recently secured three consecutive league wins and booked a spot in the MTN8 final for the fourth year in a row. This surge comes after a shaky start under new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who replaced Jose Riveiro in June.
Under Riveiro, Orlando Pirates enjoyed an incredible run last season, winning five out of six finals and reaching the CAF Champions League semi-finals. However, the Spaniard left the Buccaneers for Al Ahly, only to be sacked after seven matches.
Earlier this year, Riveiro confirmed his loyalty to Pirates. “Once a Pirate, always a Pirate. I will never coach another team in South Africa,” he declared.

With 12 new signings, Khoza’s ambition is clear: bring home the Betway Premiership title or conquer the CAF Champions League this season.
This weekend, the MTN8 final clash against Stellenbosch will have R10 million at stake. Pirates fans hope their team can keep the momentum going and secure the big prize. Which trophies will Pirates win this season?
