Mamelodi Sundowns manager, Manqoba Mngqithi, has reaffirmed the club’s ambitious targets across all competitions this season. Despite a challenging start under the South African tactician, the defending Premier Soccer League (PSL) champions have found their rhythm, determined to maintain their status as South Africa’s football powerhouse.
Mngqithi emphasized that the Brazilians are focused on winning silverware in every tournament they participate in, stating, “Our goal is always to compete at the highest level and to dominate, both locally and on the continent. The expectations are high, and we embrace the challenge.”
The Sundowns’ schedule is packed, as they are the only South African team competing in six tournaments this season. In addition to defending their PSL title, Masandawana are vying for glory in the CAF Champions League, the MTN8, the Nedbank Cup, the Carling Knockout Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
The team's rough start to the season raised eyebrows, but Mngqithi credited their resurgence to the players’ adaptability and hard work. “It’s never easy managing a team with such a demanding schedule, but the players have shown incredible resilience. We are back to playing the type of football that Sundowns are known for,” he added.
As the season progresses, Sundowns have demonstrated their depth and quality, rotating the squad effectively to manage the intense workload. The club’s recent victories have reignited their momentum, with fans confident that the Brazilians are well-equipped to challenge on all fronts.
Mngqithi also stressed the importance of the CAF Champions League, viewing it as a priority to solidify their status as continental heavyweights. “It’s a tournament that defines the club’s legacy, and we are determined to bring it home this season,” he said.
With their ambitious goals and a renewed sense of purpose, Sundowns remain a formidable force to be reckoned with in South African and African football.
