Mamelodi Sundowns Appoint Manqoba Mnqithi & Rulani Mokwena As New Head Coaches! Fans were impatiently waiting for Pitso Mosimane’s successor.

The board of Mamelodi Sundowns was particularly keen to appoint South African coaches and express its commitment and confidence in the talent and ability of our local coaches. Manqoba, Rhulani and the Technical Team at Sundowns will focus on defending the PSL and the other titles that we won during our historic 50-year anniversary. They will also advance and continue with the objective that we stated in 2004, which is to make Mamelodi Sundowns one of the best clubs on the African Continent.”
