New Mamelodi Sundowns Coaches Share Their Thoughts After Appointments!

New Mamelodi Sundowns Coaches Share Their Thoughts After Appointments! Patrice Motsepe and Mamelodi Sundowns announced Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena as the co-managers of the club. The last time Sundowns had dual coaches, they won the 2006 Castle Premiership.

In the aftermath of the appointments, both Manqoba Mngqithi and Rulani Mokwena shared their thoughts ahead of their appointments. The duo will hope to bring in more success after Pitso Mosimane’s trophy haul.

Rulani Mokwena: “It is a great honour; there is a deep sense of feeling that goes in towards appreciating the opportunity that we have been given, but with a big opportunity comes big responsibility, primarily to fill in the shoes of Coach Pitso Mosimane because the reality is it is an enormous task at an enormous club. The President has shown a lot of faith, a lot of belief and trust in our capacity as coaches and we can only look forward to making sure we represent the club as best as we possibly can, to give everything we have and do everything we can to do the best for this club and to maintain the recent success and maybe surpass it.

“The responsibility is immense but it is a responsibility we are looking forward to. We thank the Masandawana family and the Yellow Nation for the love and the support that they have shown not just to myself and Coach Manqoba but with the players and the club. We look forward to representing them and making sure that we keep them happy.”

Manqoba Mngqithi: “First one has to be thankful to the President of the club and the Board for bestowing so much trust and confidence on us. It is not easy to give to people who have not been there maybe for quite some time but to say ‘I want to promote my people’, it takes some guts, intelligence and vision and one must appreciate that.

“Secondly one is very happy to be given such an opportunity to work with this giant team Mamelodi Sundowns, and we hope we will live up to the expectations, it won’t be an easy road but we understand what is expected of us. Our relationships, harmony, unity and hard work will determine the destiny that we will get at the end.”
