New Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has reportedly got his way in convincing the Pirates bosses to reverse their decision to release Bafana Bafana midfielder Thabang Monare.
Last month, Pirates released a statement that read: “The club can also confirm that contractual discussions with Monare have collapsed as the two parties could not agree on terms.”
The 32-year-old former Bidvest Wits man played 25 matches across all competitions for the Buccaneers and broke into Hugo Broos’ Bafana starting lineup.
Monare posted a cryptic message on his social media account as he shared a picture of him posing in Pirates colours with the caption: “Once and Always”.
However, despite the post, Monare’s agent Mirko Agnelli turned down the invitation to make a statement saying: “I don’t speak to the media. Worse part it is a Sunday.”
Meanwhile, Pirates’ senior administrative officer Floyd Mbele insisted he knew nothing about Monare”s U-turn as he has been on leave.
