Speaking on the Sundowns podcast, Mngqithi said new attacking signings Kobamelo Kodisang and Arthur Sales will be given a chance to shine.
Mngqithi said:
"I felt last season we were very strong in ball possession, very strong defensively, but I don't think we were really hurting opponents that much behind their defence and we were also not using width a lot."
Fans support Mngqithi
Local football fans praised Mngqithi on social media, believing the new coach will satisfy their hunger for more trophies.

"I am glad that they are aware of their downfall. I have mentioned this statement several times that we were too slow in opening closed spaces."

"Manqoba is our Moses! He's the only one to help us beat Orlando Pirates back-to-back and win the CAF Champions League without waiting for the next four years."

Manqoba once gave us treble: Dstv, MTN8 and Nedbank. I trust you, Manqoba."
Thabang Calvin Kekana agrees with the coach:
"No more 1000 passes. The best way to win is to attack and attack."
Mpho Gift said Sundowns would thrive under Mngqithi:
"This will enable players like Maseko, Modisang, Mashego and Mabena to shine."
