“You Can’t Outdo Chiefs’ & Pirates’ History‚” Says Pitso Mosimane
“You Can’t Outdo Chiefs’ & Pirates’ History‚” Says Pitso Mosimane! The Sundowns coach believes the Brazilians can attract more fans to match their success if they just keep winning.
Mosimane says children inherit their support for clubs through their parents and he’s certain the club’s fan base will grow by winning big trophies and playing in the bigger spaces to influence fans.
“My youngest son is six years old and he has cousins who are around his age. Those children, once they get exposed to football‚ which team do they see winning? Sundowns. Because I am in that space in the last five years. We influence all of them to be Sundowns by constantly winning,” Mosimane said.
“They will then learn about the history and the background of the club. You can’t outdo Chiefs and Pirates’ history. That’s why they will always be bigger.
“Look at Mamelodi for instance‚ it has Chiefs and Pirates’ fans too. That’s why when we win‚ we always go there to parade the trophy. Nothing gives me joy than seeing children in Sundowns’ jerseys in Mamelodi. It’s unbelievable.”
