According to Soccer Laduma, Makaab said negotiations are underway for Mngqithi's new contract, while Steve Komphela will serve as senior coach after his return to the club.

Makaab said:

"He has not signed a contract yet, but we will finalise everything this week as head coach. I am still negotiating, but it will not be a short-term contract."

Mngqithi's contract at Sundowns expired last season, but he has remained with the PSL champions while negotiations continue over his new deal.

Sundowns supporters said on social media that Mngqithi deserves to be named the club's next head coach and have backed the Masandawana stalwart to succeed.

Bothwell Ndukwana Ndlovu predicts the worst for Mngqithi:

"Next season after MTN8, he will be demoted."
