Mabalane said Riveiro has left an indelible mark on the club and will be fondly remembered for restoring a winning mentality, improving players and giving opportunities to young stars like Relebohile Mofokeng, Mohau Nkotha and Mbekezeli Mbokazi.
The panellists also reflected on Kaizer Chiefs finally winning a trophy after 10 years when they beat Pirates last weekend in the Nedbank Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Also on the discussion table was Mamelodi Sundowns, who clinched their Betway Premiership for the eighth successive season with a match to spare with their 3-0 victory against Chippa United in East London on Wednesday.
