Mamelodi Sundowns announced the appointment of Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena as joint head coaches on Sunday afternoon.
However, many fans are unhappy with the club’s decision, believing that Mngqithi deserved to lead the team as the new head coach replacing Pitso Mosimane.
This is despite the fact that Masandawana has released a statement stating that “Manqoba Mngqithi’s opinion prevails when there is no consensus” between the two coaches.
Fans of the reigning PSL champions took to social media and expressed their disappointment at the decision made by Sundowns management, which is led by club president Patrick Motsepe.
Some feel that Mngqithi, who is more experienced than Mokwena, 33, should have been rewarded for his loyalty by joining the club in 2013 and having formed a good working relationship with Mosimane.
While Mokwena left Sundowns for the Orlando Pirates in August 2017 and also had a stint with Chippa United as head coach, before returning to Masandawana in July 2020.
These are some of the main Twitter comments:
I can’t believe Rhulani Mokwena took Pitso Mosimane out of Mamelodi Sundowns. Manqoba Mngqithi is next.

I am also not happy with this decision. What is this called joint coaching / coaching ????? Manqoba deserves it more, he has been loyal and patient with the club. Motsepe did not do justice to Mngqithi

The struggle for power is inevitable.
Rhulani mokwena is an attention seeker and a power hungry demon, I feel sorry for Mngqithi.
Disrespect !!! https://t.co/cIROC1qMv8– (@PontshoRamadie) October 4, 2020

Like the fashion at Sundowns, the coach wheels go round and round. From Tovey & Gamondi to Mngqithi and Mokwena

The lack of respect from the Sundowns leadership in Manqoba Mngqithi😭

Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena’s status as joint head coaches at Sundowns is a recipe for disaster; Rhulani will try to intimidate Manqoba and then end in tears 😂

Big mistake from Sundowns management, Rhulani is arrogant and will harass Manqoba Mngqithi.
– DIY3 / LOGAN (@Mawi_Mtshi) October 4, 2020
Manqoba Mngqithi is being disrespected!
– Mthobeli Jileka (@Pro_Jileka) October 4, 2020
This is disrespectful and a vote of no confidence in Manqoba Mngqithi for @Masandawana. He is far more experienced than Mokwena, who has failed in his two previous attempts as head coach. Mokwena has a bright future, but there is still much to learn from him. https://t.co/lnFGyJ7y65

Mamelodi Sundowns names joint head coaches to replace Mosimane – Mngqithi has a chance. A very knowledgeable football teammate. The players know him and he knows them. Good luck ! https://t.co/4X5NaVBKYD
