Riveiro's first title with Orlando Pirates came a few months after he joined the Bucs when his team defeated AmaZulu FC 1-0 in the MTN8 final.

The Spanish gaffer made it a double a year later when the Sea Robbers edged Mamelodi Sundowns on penalties after a goalless draw throughout the match.

The three-peat came on Saturday, October 5, 2024, against Stellenbosch at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

2. Nedbank Cup 2022/23, 2023/24

The Spanish tactician has dominated the South Africa League domestic cup competitions. He also won the Nedbank Cup back to back and could replicate MTN8's three-peat in the competition if he wins it this season.

The former Celta Vigo coach has won five titles with the Sea Robbers, with the Premier Soccer League title being the only trophy he has yet to win since moving to South Africa.
