While speaking on a sports broadcast over the weekend, Hunt questioned whether Lucas Ribeiro truly deserves the Player of the Season title, expressing doubts about the Brazilian’s work ethic and how he might struggle in a less dominant team.

“Ribeiro scores goals, but if you put him in a smaller team like Magesi, he’ll struggle. He would have to work harder there,” Gavin Hunt commented.

Hunt went on to say that Teboho Mokoena is currently the best footballer in South Africa.

When it comes to Orlando Pirates, Hunt named a midfielder he referred to as “the boy in the middle” as the standout talent, identifying him as Makhehleni Makhaula. “He’s the best at Pirates. He’s the glue that holds the team together,” he said.

Meanwhile, with Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro set to leave at the end of the season, talks are heating up about who might take over. Former club legends have thrown their support behind Pitso Mosimane, citing his experience and track record of success. Mosimane, who is currently a free agent, is considered one of the most successful coaches in African football history with multiple league and continental titles.

Another name linked to the job is Rulani Mokwena, the current coach of Wydad Casablanca, who is expected to part ways with the Moroccan side soon. His potential return to the Premier Soccer League could stir things up as Orlando Pirates seek a new direction.
