It’s unclear if the Brazilians will rope in another coach to head up the technical team alongside the experienced Komphela and Mngqithi.
“I'm not sure if a coach from outside will understand the culture of football locally and how he needs to manage certain things," said Nthethe.
Mamelodi Sundowns legend Thabo Nthethe has reservations about the club bringing in a foreign coach following the shock departure of Rulani Mokwena. The speculation around Frenchman Patrice Carteron being the hot favourite to replace Mokwena has cooled down after the return of Steve Komphela who will serve as a senior coach.Komphela is currently assisting Manqoba Mngqithi as the team gears up for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.
“For me, I don’t see other coaches from outside doing well at Sundowns. I think Rulani was a good coach and Manqoba can be now that Rulani is not there because coach Steve is also there to assist him,” Nthethe said.“I’m not sure if a coach from outside will understand the culture of football locally and how he needs to manage certain things but this is football and a coach can come from outside and end up winning a second star.
