Orlando Pirates have set their sights on a high-profile name as they look to fill the head coach position vacated by Riveiro. According to Thesouthafrican, their top target is experienced German tactician Marco Rose, who recently parted ways with RB Leipzig.

The club's management sees him as the ideal candidate, but there's one major hurdle: his salary expectations could be out of reach for the Buccaneers. Rose is a manager of elite caliber, and his financial demands far exceed the sums the club typically allocates for its coaching staff.

So far, negotiations have not progressed, and Rose remains a long shot. However, the mere mention of his name in this context highlights the club's bold ambitions. It's worth noting that the Buccaneers plan to hold their preseason training camp in Germany, hinting at a strong intention to put their trust in a European manager.
