Orlando Pirates are returning to Europe for yet another pre-season in Spain.

ALL CONFIRMED PIRATES PRE-SEASON FIXTURES:
11 July – Orlando Pirates v Bolton Wanderers
13 July – Orlando Pirates v Pafos FC
17 July – Orlando Pirates v Las Palmas
19 July – Orlando Pirates v Granada FC
NEW-LOOK SIDE HEADING TO EUROPE
Pirates will be appointing a new head coach soon. Following the departure of fan-favourite, Jose Riveiro, Bucs management have some pretty big boots to fill.
Riveiro won five domestic cups during his time at Pirates – coaching the Bucs to three MTN8 and two Nedbank Cup trophies.
Meanwhile, he was largely involved in organising Pirates pre-season tour to Spain in the past. Now, it is ironically on his turf that they need a new coach.
Furthermore, the Bucs have to select a new captain to replace Innocent Maela. Meaning, Pirates will have a new coach and captain usher in this new era.
