Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Manqoba Mngqithi has responded to claims that he lacks ambition as he’s fallen off the coaching pecking order at the club in a recent press conference.
“But all I can say first is that we are living in a world where there is freedom of expression and everyone has the right to say what they want. Because of luck, we are also conveniently placed in positions where we purposefully forget what we like to forget and remember what we like to remember.
“If you remember very well, I was one of the youngest coaches in the league, and only one team at that time in KZN (in the DStv Premiership) it was Golden Arrows. All the clubs were coached by more experienced coaches who thought they were better than me then, but they were relegated.”
On claims that he is scared to leave Sundowns and that he is in a comfort zone, Mngqithi had this to say:
“When you are a coach and you want to be successful as a coach, it is important to have thick skin. Because if you listen to what everybody else says about you, you might go off the rails.”
