• The 45-year-old's last coaching job was at FC Inter Turku in Finland's top division, the Veikkausliiga

Jose Riveiro's appointment as Orlando Pirates coach was met with indifference, skepticism and hesitance.

According to Transfermarkt, his experience as a coach began as Celta Vigo Youth's manager in 2011. His career path has seen him move from FC Honka (Veikkausliiga, assistant manager), PK-35 (Ykkönen, assistant manager) HJK Helsinki (Veikkausliiga, assistant manager) and FC Inter Turku (Veikkausliiga, manager). He is yet to win a trophy in his managerial career.
