The future of Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi could depend on how his team performs in the Carling Knockout Cup final against Magesi FC on Saturday, 23 November 2024. Sundowns are considered the favorites, but the match carries significant weight for both the team’s confidence and Mngqithi’s position at the club.
Sundowns management has placed a strong emphasis on success in the CAF Champions League, making the outcome of this final crucial for Mngqithi’s future. A win could give the team much-needed momentum heading into their continental fixtures.
While many local fans support Mngqithi, there are concerns about how Sundowns will fare against a determined Magesi side. Despite their underdog status, Magesi has already pulled off impressive wins during the competition, which has created doubts about the ease of the final.
Mngqithi has expressed confidence in his squad, even comparing them to Bafana Bafana in terms of talent and ability. However, the final could be a defining moment, as the result may have implications for his tenure at Sundowns and the team’s overall success in the season.
