On Friday night, Mamelodi Sundowns secured a hard-fought victory over Sekhukhune in the South African Cup quarterfinal match. Already on Tuesday, the team will host Tunisia's Esperance in the Champions League, and the head coach of the South African team, Miguel Cardoso, believes he has little time.
Details: The Sundowns coach has called on the South African league bosses to create a more favorable environment so that the team has more time to prepare for the Champions League matches.
Quote: “I would like to talk about this because it is important that we speak out on all these issues, and it's not because I am the coach of Mamelodi Sundowns.
When we play internationally or in the Champions League, we represent not only the club but the entire South Africa. I think it’s important that the people managing football in South Africa understand that we must be given the best conditions to compete.
As you know, we will face a team that I worked with last year, and I know how they prepare for the Champions League. Their country does everything to ensure that teams play in the best conditions,” Cardoso said.
Reminder: Previously, Orlando Pirates faced difficulties in extending the contract with their head coach Jose Riveiro.
