Manqoba Mngqithi offers advice to Chiefs

Mngqithi speaks about Chiefs in the tweet below:

According to iDiski Times, Mngqithi agreed with Mzansi legend Doctor Khumalo that Chiefs has improved under Nabi but still had some words of advice for the Soweto side.

Mngqithi said:

"The truth is, it's refreshing to see a Kaizer Chiefs team that plays like this. They must look to try and try to dominate matches more because we cannot, as big teams always rely on good rest attacks and counterattacks. We must also put our foot forward.

Fans question Mngqithi's praise

Local football fans said on social media that Mngqithi should concern himself with his own team and should not be talking about the PSL rivals.

"Manqoba Mngqithi thinks he is Carlo Ancelotti now; I saw his video teasing us that we at least got flags out of the Chiefs vs Downs match. I personally think that was very low. However, this game of football will teach him manners in due course !!"

Oarabile Tau Tlhale noticed a pattern:

"I love how all our coaches abuse Chiefs on the field and then patronize them in press conferences. Coach Pitso and coach Rhulani used to do it, and now it's coach Manqoba's turn to praise them after yet another whipping."

Lucky Ncala is a Downs fan:

"They may improve, but they won't beat Sundowns."

Maxi Dapoi said Mngqithi must be carfel:

"They want an improved Kaizer Chiefs but can't deal with it."

Sweet Sollaiza Gasela asked a question:

"Why is he worried about Chiefs?"
