Bucs legend calls for Riveiro sacking

Orlando Pirates legend Benedict "Tso" Vilakazi is unimpressed with the current form of his former club after consecutive defeats.

The Sea Robbers failed to win their fourth cup fixture in a row following their loss to underdogs Richards Bay FC in the Carling Knockout quarterfinal at the Moses Mabhida on Saturday.

The Buccaneers have also been dropping points in the league and currently sit in position 13 in the DStv Premiership table, with only two wins in eight league matches.

To improve their lukewarm form, Vilakazi believes the current head coach Jose Riveiro and his technical team should be replaced.

"You can't struggle to win with such players," Vilakaxi tells KickOff.

"I think the management is just scared to say the coach has lost his touch. 

"Sometimes to use the same approach in every game, there is always going to be a problem as clubs will eventually figure it out.

"I think that's what is currently happening at Orlando Pirates, teams always study their opponents.

"Pirates's problem is their technical team as a whole, when Fadlu Davids left, we still kept Mandla Ncikazi as an assistant coach. I don't understand why because they both failed.

"Pirates need to get a new coach who will bring his own technical team. 

"Riveiro and his technical team have now reached the ceiling, they can't help us any further.

"They have exhausted all their plans, we need a new brain, new personnel, people who will come with new ideas."
