On Monday, after crashing out of the MTN 8 following a 3-0 loss to Orlando Pirates over the course of 2 legs, Mamelodi Sundowns made immediate changes to their coaching staff.
The Pretoria club announced changes in the responsibilities and employment positions of its coaches: Manqoba Mngqithi, Rulani Mokwena, and Steve Komphela.
According to a statement shared by the club, these changes were “necessitated by the poor performances and unconvincing victories that the club has experienced for quite some time.”
The club maintains its objective of “becoming one of the most successful football clubs in Africa and its recent average and lackluster performances are contrary to this objective.”
Rulani Mokwena takes over the responsibility of Head Coach at Mamelodi Sundowns, while Steve Komphela is promoted to First Team Coach and Manqoba Mngqithi will be the Senior Coach which is the position previously occupied by Steve Komphela.
The Goalkeeper Coach, Wendell Robinson will stay in his current position.
