After a surprising 3-2 aggregate loss to Pyramids FC on Sunday, Mamelodi Sundowns’ leadership has made it clear they still have full confidence in their coach, Miguel Cardoso.

This decision shows the club’s commitment to giving him another chance despite falling short of their ultimate goal.

Last season, the club made headlines when they parted ways with former coach Rulani Mokwena following their failure to clinch the CAF Champions League title.

Interestingly, Mokwena’s team had been knocked out in the semi-finals by Cardoso’s Esperance squad, adding a twist to the coaching saga.

Now, Sundowns are taking a different approach with Cardoso, opting to back him fully and allowing him to continue leading the team’s push for African glory.

Management’s Confidence Signals Another Shot at Champions League Glory

According to reports from Soccer Laduma, the Sundowns management at their Chloorkop base is firmly behind Cardoso.

They plan to give the Portuguese coach the opportunity to refine the team and aim for that coveted Champions League title once again.

This vote of confidence indicates the club’s belief in his vision, despite the disappointment of recent results.

Teboho Mokoena Gives Back to His Roots With Free Soccer Boots

While the Sundowns squad was gearing up to leave for the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday, midfielder Teboho Mokoena chose to spend quality time giving back to his community.

The 28-year-old hosted his annual under-16 schools football tournament in Bethlehem, his hometown in the Free State.

During his visit, Mokoena generously donated brand-new Puma soccer boots to his former school’s entire team.

This act of kindness reflects the star player’s dedication not just to football but to uplifting young talent in his hometown.
