Only Ronwen Williams and Peter Shalulile kept their places in the line-up from Carling Knockout win over Kaizer Chiefs last Saturday.
'I’m the one who came up with this idea of trying to make sure that we keep our team as fresh as possible,' said the Sundowns head coach.
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi is sticking to his guns of rotating his star-studded squad. The policy has worked so far following a slow start to the 2024-25 season. The Brazilians have turned the corner. “I’m the one who came up with this idea of trying to make sure that we keep our team as fresh as possible so that we don’t have tired legs when we get into games of consequences,” Mngqithi said.“I trust the players that we have and I believe they are good enough, in as much. We lost the match in Polokwane but I just think it’s one of those accidents that happen in football.
The 53-year-old has a luxury that many of his PSL counterparts don’t have. The former Golden Arrows coach elaborated further on the idea of keeping his galaxy of stars sharp throughout the campaign.
