The Brazilians are without a win in their opening two matches of the group stage campaign following a disappointing goalless draw at home to AS Maniema Union and the 1-1 stalemate away to AS FAR in Morocco which has led to the sacking of Manqoba Mngqithi.The Sundowns hierarchy have wasted no time in securing Cardoso his work permit and he will be on the bench against Casablanca after he was unveiled at Chloorkop on Tuesday, on the same day that Mngqithi’s departure was announced.
“The difficulties will come and we will overcome them when we are together so having a good defensive organisation is part of football and to understand that we need to be solid, organised and be a collective.“That has nothing to do with being an offensive coach or a defensive one but we have to understand that to win trophies in tough games, it will be highlighted by the game itself. You must be up for the challenge or you’ll lose.
