Jose Riveiro gives a new statement about Relebohile Mofokeng!

Despite a challenging season where he has yet to find the net, Relebohile Mofokeng has found a staunch believer in his former Orlando Pirates coach, Jose Riveiro. The Spanish coach, who handed Mofokeng his professional debut, remains confident in the winger's ability to rediscover his form.

Riveiro expressed his unwavering faith, stating, “Rele is a very mature guy…I am sure he is going to find a way to get back on track and perform the same way he used to.” He emphasized that such fluctuations are a normal part of an athlete's journey, adding, “Having ups and downs in a player’s career is normal... I am certain that he will continue enjoying playing football and playing good games, bringing goals, assists.”

The arrival of new attacking players at Pirates has reduced the team's reliance on the 21-year-old, who previously tallied 18 goals and 21 assists under Riveiro's guidance. As he navigates this period, Mofokeng's broader ambition is to secure a place in the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming AFCON tournament.
