The boss has the final say! CAF president saves Mamelodi Sundowns coach from the sack

The future of Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has finally been decided following the direct intervention of the club's owner and CAF president, Dr Patrice Motsepe.

Details: According to authoritative sources cited by journalist Makhanya Tito of RushSportsNews, Dr Patrice Motsepe and sporting director Flemming Berg have officially informed the board of directors and club chairman Thlopie Motsepe that the Portuguese coach will remain in charge. Despite the recent defeat in the CAF Super Cup final and growing pressure from supporters, the club's hierarchy has decided that Cardoso will continue to lead the team at least until the end of the current season.

The influential officials expressed their conviction that making emotional changes in the middle of the campaign would cause irreparable damage to the club's long-term development strategy. Cardoso has been given a free hand to turn things around in the domestic league and the CAF Champions League, while the club's management will focus on creating the best possible working conditions for his coaching staff.

It is worth noting that the Portuguese coach is leading Mamelodi Sundowns amid fierce competition on the continental stage, and the backing of South African football's top officials guarantees him stability against the backdrop of constant rumours about a managerial change.
