As the 2024/25 season approaches, Orlando Pirates fans are hopeful that their beloved team can rise to the top of South African football once again. With exciting new signings, a solid tactical setup, and high expectations, the Buccaneers are aiming for glory in the DStv Premiership and beyond.
Squad Depth and Khey Signings
Orlando Pirates didn’t made any additions to their squad to strengthen key positions. They believe that they have added much-needed depth, particularly in attack and defense. The return of some injured players will also give coach José Riveiro more options.
Key players such as Relebohile Mofoekeng, Patrick Maswanganyi and Makhehleni Makhaula will be vital in leading the team forward. With a strong squad, Pirates look ready to challenge for multiple trophies.
Tactical Setup Under José
RiveiroRiveiro has established a structured and attacking style of play since taking charge. His preferred 4-2-3-1 formation allows for fluid passing and quick transitions. The full-backs play a crucial role in overlapping runs, while the midfield remains compact to control possession.
One of the biggest challenges, however, has been consistency. If Pirates can maintain their intensity throughout the season, they stand a great chance of competing with Mamelodi Sundowns for the title.
