According to Soccer Laduma, Khanye said Pirates will struggle in the continental competition, while they face the possibility of being drawn in a tough group.
Khanye said:
"Sometimes this José Riveiro runs out of ideas, sometimes he gets away with results, and because of that, you find people are overrating him. Pirates players do not have the quality to win the Champions League. The coach is making silly mistakes."
Fans disagree with Khanye
Local football fans criticised Khanye on social media, saying the former PSL star does not have the credentials to question Riveiro.
Tumisang Mamabolo slammed Khanye:
"Junior Khanye doesn't understand football."
Thabiso Makinita disagrees with Khanye:
"His predictions have been off from the day he heard Pirates signed Jose. He even predicted that he won't last a season here. Four cups later, he is still the Pirates coach."
Veli Vee Mazibuko wants an apology from Khanye:
"That guy has beef with our coach from day one. His prediction of the coach was wrong from day one, and he never came back to apologise to the coach."
Rre Mokgara criticised the former player:
"What has Junior Khanye achieved? He should try being a coach, Mr Know it All."
Dion Deeza is ignoring the criticism:
"Imagine taking Junior Khanye seriously."
