Pirates Reload! Riveiro Set To Unleash Big Guns
Orlando Pirates are expected to ring the changes ahead of their huge CAF Champions League clash against Pyramids FC this weekend, with coach Jose Riveiro looking to manage his squad carefully across three major competitions.
Fresh from booking their spot in the Nedbank Cup final with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Marumo Gallants on Sunday, the Buccaneers are set to field a refreshed and more experienced line-up at FNB Stadium when they host their Egyptian counterparts.

In the semi-final against Gallants, Pirates notably rested a few key players, underlining Riveiro’s tactical rotation strategy as the club continues to juggle Champions League duties, domestic league commitments, and the ongoing cup campaign.
Midfield dynamo Thalente Mbatha, who was a surprise absentee from the matchday squad last weekend, is expected to make his return for Saturday’s encounter.
His presence could add much-needed control and creativity in the middle of the park against the visiting Pyramids.
Between the sticks, Melusi Buthelezi was handed a rare start and kept a clean sheet, but sources suggest regular number one Sipho Chaine is likely to be restored to the starting XI for the Champions League clash.
Highly rated youngster Relebohile Mofokeng, who started on the bench in the Nedbank Cup semi, is also tipped to return to the starting line-up alongside defender Tapelo Xoki, who was a late substitute against Gallants.
There’s also a flicker of hope regarding the return of star winger Monnapule Saleng, who has been sidelined for the past four months.

While he may not yet be ready for full action, his progress in training has raised optimism, though his inclusion in the squad remains uncertain at this stage.
Pirates will be aiming to make the most of home advantage before heading to Cairo for the decisive second leg next Friday.

5 Years For 5-Star Chiefs Starlet
Kaizer Chiefs continue to invest in their youth development as the Siya crew understands the club has rewarded a teenager with a five-year contract.
19-year-old DDC striker Naledi Hlongwane is believed to have signed a long term contract with Amakhosi.
READ: Cardoso Makes VAR Call
The potential deal, running from July 2025 to June 2030, would demonstrate Chiefs’ commitment to nurturing homegrown talent while pursuing experienced strikers for next season.
As previously reported by Soccer Laduma, Amakhosi initially proposed a three-year deal for Hlongwane. However, insiders stated that the club later decided to extend the offer to five years, solidifying their faith in the promising striker.
“What I can tell you is the five-year deal is the one believed to have been agreed upon by all parties. Yes, the first time it was apparently proposed for a three-year deal but the club felt they needed to keep the striker for a long time so that’s why, finally, they came up with a five-year contract. This one is as good as done. I don’t think there will be any changes now,” the source told Soccer Laduma.
A second insider disclosed that while Hlongwane has been training and traveling with the first team on occasions, he will finish the current season with the DDC side as they aim for their first-ever DStv Diski Challenge title.
READ: Saleng’s Comeback In Sight
“What he has signed is a five-year professional contract which starts in July this year and although he has been training with the first team and sometimes traveling with them, he is going to continue with the DDC team for the remainder of the season then apparently join the first team on their pre-season camp,” the second insider revealed.
Hlongwane has been in prolific form this season, scoring goals and helping Chiefs’ DDC team secure top position on the log so far. His impressive performances earned him a place in the Bafana Bafana CHAN squad that eliminated Egypt in the qualifiers. He had also shone during the Carling All Stars match against Magesi FC, where he won the Man of the Match award. Hlongwane scored two goals as the All Stars beat the Carling Knockout champions 3-0.
Soccer Laduma contacted Kaizer Chiefs but the club did not respond to requests for comment at the time of publishing this story.

Speaking on his new deal, the captain said: “I’m very happy, very proud,” Van Dijk told Liverpool website.
The captain’s new deal takes him to the club until 2027, the same as Egyptian Star Mohamed Salah, and the defender said it was a proud feeling to re-sign for the club and extend his deal.
“The journey I’ve had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I’m so happy,” Van Dijk said.
The former Celtic defender said he never considered any other offers and was always going to choose Liverpool.
“It was always Liverpool,” the captain said. “That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool.”
“There wasn’t any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family, the captain continued.
“I’m one of Liverpool. Someone called me the other day an adopted Scouser – I’m really proud to hear these things, it gives me a great feeling.”

Sundowns Midfielder: ‘I Did My Punishment’
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams has opened up about being told to fix his attitude after Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos punished him last year for his transgressions.
Adams was dropped from the squad during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers last year for disciplinary reasons, as Broos made it clear that he would not tolerate ill-discipline in his squad.
READ: Why FNB Stadium Was Not An Option For Cup Final
On his return to the Bafana Bafana squad recently, Adams found the back of the net in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin, carrying his fine form for Sundowns into the national team.
With his excellent form at Sundowns, Broos was unable to ignore the player and his decision to bring him back proved to be a masterstroke as South Africa put themselves in a comfortable position at the top of their group in the World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking to media on Thursday morning ahead of Sundowns’ CAF Champions League clash against Egyptian giants Al Ahly this weekend, Adams admitted that being left out of the squad was an eye-opener and he has since fixed his attitude.
“It’s like I was not out for a while. They welcomed me like I was not out for a while. The coach did punish me. I did my punishment. When I got back, I think my performance didn’t give him a decision to put me out of the team,” Adams told media at Chloorkop.
“It was an eye opener for me to do better and to fix my attitude. I did that and now I am back. Thank God for that.”
READ: Downs To Upset Ahly? ‘They Have Found The Formula’
Adams has a good chance of starting when Sundowns host Ahly at Loftus Stadium this Saturday, arguably the biggest match of the season for the club so far. This is a match that’s unlikely to faze the 23-year-old midfielder, considering how he was able to quickly fit in and play regularly at Sundowns after signing for them in January.
“For me, I am a ball player. It wasn’t easy to fit into the team. In this team, we like to have the ball and we press. Sometimes they say I am lazy, but I know where to be in the spaces. The team has helped me a lot, especially the coach. He has made me a different player,” the former Stellenbosch FC midfielder said.

Ancelotti’s Future ‘Unclear’ After UCL Exit
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti made an honest admission when asked to discuss his future at the club.
Check Out: Official: UCL Semi-Final Fixtures Revealed
The Los Blancos were beaten 5-1 on aggregate against North London giants Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Despite having the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham at his disposal, it was not enough for Ancelotti to lead his side to a spot in the semi-finals.
Speaking after his side’s defeat, the former AC Milan manager reportedly said he was not sure if he would still be in the dugout come next season, according to ESPN.
“I don’t know,” the Italian said. “It could be that the club decides to change. It could be this year, or next year when my contract ends. There’s no problem. The day I finish here, the only thing I can do is thank this club, it could be tomorrow, in a month, or in a year,” he continued.
Ancelotti is contracted with the Spanish side until 2026 but is in jeopardy of getting sacked earlier due to poor performances throughout the season.
According to Madrid Universal, Ancelotti reportedly said he had not thought about the future.
“Whether my contract ends or not, it doesn’t matter to me,” the former Napoli manager said.
“I haven’t thought for a moment that I won’t be the coach for Real Madrid.”
