When is Orlando Pirates vs Galaxy?
Orlando Pirates must remain professional for the remainder of the campaign, although there's nothing more for them to win.
Orlando Pirates will be eager to give Jose Riveiro a proper sendoff in their remaining fixtures. The first one of those is against TS Galaxy on Saturday, 17 May, with kickoff at 15:00. Makhehlene Makhaula will miss the match after being ruled out for the rest of the season.
Benni McCarthy started his coaching journey at Sint-Truiden, where he was the Belgian club's assistant manager from 2015 to 2016. He then presided over 89 matches at Cape Town City as their head coach, winning the MTN9 in 2018-2019. His next head coach role was with AmaZulu, a club he guided to the Caf Champions League for the first time in their history. All of those roles preceded arguably his most glamorous position to date: first-team attacking coach at Manchester United. With the 2023-2024 FA Cup now in his cabinet, Benni's tasted success in the dugout on two occasions and will want more of that feeling. Mr McCarthy is now the head coach of Kenya's Harambee Stars.

Why Kaizer Chiefs will be a different team next season
Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi feels his former club will be a different team next season. Amakhosi have finished outside the top 8 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in PSL history. Under Nasredine Nabi, the club has not shown much improvement; however, they ended their 10-year trophyless run when they won the Nedbank Cup. 'Chiefs went to Turkey last season and they did well in the early stages of the league. Remember there was a reshuffling of the technical team after the first assistant left and then they had to bring in another one,' Tsotetsi told Soccer Laduma . 'Going to Netherlands now, it will be good for them because they are going to be preparing against teams that will give them a challenge to prepare for the league. In Netherlands, they are usually good tactically, so I think it can help Chiefs in establishing a good structure in their line-up. I think they will come back a different team. They will come back a better team.' Kaizer Chiefs have parted ways with five players but are yet to confirm any new signings. The likes of Ranga Chivaviro and Edmilson Dove are amongst the departed players meaning the Soweto giants might be eyeing to sign a few foreign players.
