Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana striker Evidence Makgopa says Jose Riveiro is one of the best coaches he has worked under.
The Limpopo born forward joined the Buccaneers at the start of the 2022/23 season from Baroka FC, the same time as Riveiro’s arrival. The Spaniard has helped Pirates win three trophies in his time so far while Makgopa has five goals in all competitions under his guidance. Makgopa told iDiski Times writer Lorenz Köhler that Riveiro has had a positive impact on his game that has helped him tap into his versatility.
“Jose is a very good coach, very good,” Makgopa told iDiski Times.
“He’s humble, kind and I think I’ve learnt a lot but there’s much I can still learn. He’s had a huge impact, so yeah, I can’t say much but he’s improved me tactically.”
“You know I had many coaches at Baroka but this one he’s got a different dimension. As a player, you have to be more versatile. If a new coach comes and says ‘I want you to play like this as a striker’, at the end of the day you need to adjust to fit into his books because you can’t say ‘I’m this type of striker’. You might not end up playing. You have to adjust to coaches.”
