Steve Komphela Says Mamelodi Sundowns Did Not Fight With Him! The tactician left The Brazilians two weeks ago.
Steve Komphela left Mamelodi Sundowns to be head coach of Moroka Swallows FC. He says the hierarchy at Mamelodi Sundowns did not dispute his decision.
Coach Steve was assistant coach to Rulani Mokwena since October 2022. He had joined The Brazilians in 2020.
At Masandawana, he was guaranteed of success, as they won the DSTV Premiership every year since he joined. Despite this, Komphela has opted for the opportunity to become a head coach again.
“Not a fight, not understood either,” Komphela told Marawa Sports Worldwide, as per Times Live.
“Because when you bring something to the table, a discussion that is quite serious, it does trigger a lot of, ‘Where did this come from?’
“Then you have to explain yourself. You strike an arrangement, develop frameworks, retreat a bit and give it another shot.
“Because you don’t just break sad news and expect it to be carried forth.” He spoke.
“Sundowns has given one so much respect, so much quality in approach and achievement that it would take a lunatic not to be grateful, not to follow the right processes in terms of the requesting to leave.
“If you were a man of good morals, you would definitely say, ‘No but I owe explanation to this person because they’ve been extremely kind to you’.
“I did consult with the chair [Tlhopie Motsepe], obviously the president [Patrice Motsepe] would know about proceedings, up until the stage where you have to cut the throat.
“Which is the most painful, because you fully understand as you cut the throat, when blood spills it does not only splatter on your shoes – there are a whole lot of bystanders, but people also who appreciate the brand who are likely to be affected. So, you have to be careful when you do that – it has to be done with dignity and I think it was done in a very dignified manner.” He added.
He was already begun work at Moroka Swallows FC. Steve Komphela Says Mamelodi Sundowns Did Not Fight With Him!
