Thlopie Motsepe and Miguel Cardoso during the Mamelodi Sundowns team arrival at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on Monday.
Mamelodi Sundowns are preparing for crucial discussions surrounding the futures of both coach Miguel Cardoso and captain Themba Zwane following the club’s long-awaited return to the summit of African football.
Sundowns secured their second CAF Champions League crown on Sunday after drawing 1-1 with AS FAR Rabat in Morocco to complete a 2-1 aggregate victory in the final.
The triumph instantly strengthened Cardoso’s position after a turbulent few months in charge in which he watched Orlando Pirates collected a domestic treble.
The Portuguese coach arrived at Chloorkop in December 2024 to replace Manqoba Mngqithi and immediately faced enormous pressure to restore continental success.
