Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena is not doing so well. He believes he disappointed the club in the CAF Champions League.
“No, I’m still reeling and I’m talking personally. Someone tried to console me and said you have a double already with the AFL and the league so why are you still reeling? But I’m reeling because I feel like I’ve let the club down, let the supporters down and this group down because it’s my job to lead,” Mokwena said via the37-years-old
, added: “When we fail, it’s my job to stand in front and assume the responsibility so I don’t think it will make up for it. We deserved to be in the semifinals of the champions league and based on the performance in the second leg, I think we did enough to give ourselves a chance to be in the final but things didn’t go our way.
“When I say you need luck in the Champions League, that’s exactly what I mean. I’ve got to accept but it doesn’t minimise the pain and I’ve already apologised to the club and I can apologise again for that failure and take it on my shoulders but that doesn’t mean you don’t try again because eventually we will win the Champions League,” the Sundowns mentor added.As previously reported across local media, Sundowns set eyes on the 23-year-old midfielder from Iddas Valley, Stellenbosch.
“Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie has confirmed interest from Mamelodi Sundowns in midfielder Jayden Adams, but further told SABC Sport there was no formal bid yet from the league champions,” the national broadcaster reported. “The truth is Mamelodi Sundowns made an enquiry in the January window, we informed them he is not available for sale,” Benadie said via “No further discussions have taken place at all. So yes they are interested in the player. But no offer has been tabled and certainly no deal concluded,” Benadie added.
