With the club’s motto, Once and Always , I have remained a loyal supporter of the club despite being physically away. When asked about Riveiro’s departure and whether he would return to coach Orlando Pirates, Micho said the attention should be on the club winning the remaining trophies this season. “Instead of bending attention away from the football field, I want them to put total focus and concentration on ongoing competitions.
What will happen after is beyond me and I would not comment, but I will remain wherever I am and whatever I do, a proud member of the Sea Robbers family,” said the ex-Bucs coach.
