Have they already found a replacement?! Cardoso could leave Mamelodi Sundowns after CAF Champions League failure

Rumors of a potential major coaching change have emerged in African football. Simba head coach Steve Barker has attracted the attention of South African club Mamelodi Sundowns, who are going through a difficult period after their setback on the international stage. The news was reported by renowned Tanzanian journalist Maulid Kitenge.

The speculation was sparked by Sundowns' early exit from the CAF Champions League. Against the backdrop of disappointing results, the future of the team's current manager, Miguel Cardoso, has come under question. Barker, who previously worked in South Africa with Stellenbosch, is now being mentioned among the potential candidates to replace him.

Steve Barker is in charge of Tanzania's Simba and has attracted attention thanks to his coaching experience. A possible move to one of South Africa's wealthiest clubs would represent a major twist in his career.
