Mamelodi Sundowns fans saw flames over the weekend as life after Pitso Mosimane took a turn for the worse at the first hurdle.
As Mosimane won a crucial semi-final of the Caf Champions League against Wydad Casablanca with his new club Al Ahly, the Sundowns were kicked out of MTN8 by Bloemfontein Celtics.
Coaches Manqoba Mngqithi, Rulani Mokwena and Steve Komphela took over the team after Pitso’s departure last month, and they got off to a nightmare start to their tenure at Chloorkop.
The Brazilians’ hopes of ending a 13-year wait for the trophy were dashed when Victor Letsoalo led Celtic with just under 20 minutes to go.
Mngqithi said he was disappointed with the result but satisfied with the way the team responded to his way of doing things.
“I am impressed. There were many positives. I think there were many more positives than negatives. I think the team is starting to play the way we want them to play,” he said in a post-game television interview.
It doesn’t get any easier for Sundowns, who will begin their DStv Premiership campaign against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Fans on social media were shocked by the result and flooded the TL with memes and messages mocking the team and asking Mosimane to send some of his magic to the new coaches.
