"It's not easy to lose managers; it's difficult because we get attached, and at Mamelodi Sundowns, the first thing is the brotherhood and the family, we want that family orientation, and when we lose certain family members, it's not easy," the South African international said.

The former SuperSport United star believes he and his teammates can't question Sundowns' board's decision to let the South African tactician go after his poor start in the Champions League.

"We can't question the decisions; we just have to do what we can, which is play football, be the best and take Sundowns up to the level it should be," he added.
