As they've proven they're peerless on the domestic front, Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has said they are looking beyond being local heavyweights, aiming to match the continent’s giants.
Mngqithi wants Sundowns to be at the same level with Al Ahly, Wydad Casablanca and Zamalek and he feels they are assembling a team that would close that gap in the future.
“What many people fail to understand is that when we reinforce the team, it is not because we are looking in the PSL,” Mngqithi explained to the media during the Nedbank Cup launch on Tuesday. “We are competing with Al Ahly, Wydad and Zamalek and all these teams in terms of their value and what they bring into the game, make us look like underdogs.
