Sekhukhune United coach Brandon Truter has heaped praise on his counterpart Jose Riveiro of Orlando Pirates before their teams' showdown in the Nedbank Cup final at Loftus Stadium on Saturday.
Spaniard Riveiro joined Pirates at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season after spending eight years coaching teams in the Finnish top-flight league.
“Jose has done fantastically well this season in the strides he's made at a club like Pirates, creating identity as well. He's the type of coach we should have in the PSL in adding quality and helping our development in South Africa. “I've said we're underdogs,” admitted Truter. “Everything is in Pirates' corner, but being underdogs also releases a bit of pressure. We'll go there without pressure and I think all the pressure is on Pirates to win another cup. “Luckily for me I have some internationals in the team. Badrea Sangare from Ivory Coast, Rodrick Kabwe from Zambia, [Daniel] Cardoso, [Edwin] Gyimah [Ghana].
“The magnitude of the match is different to the league and we'll have to get the right mentality. We have to remain focused, this is the last game of the season.”
