The Betway Premiership giants registered 37 players for this season, and the Portuguese mentor admitted that it's tougher managing a large squad, which would be the first time in his coaching career.
"It's different from the teams I coached before because I have to put in extra work on preparation. It's tougher and takes more time. It requires more attention," the former Celta Vigo manager claimed.
"I worry when I create situations like 10v10 in training, as there is often a large group of players not involved.
"At the same time, I need to design similar training activities for those who are not part of the matchday squad."
The Pretoria Giants are one of the clubs in the Premier Soccer League with a big squad, and it's the first time Cardoso has experienced such a situation despite working with different clubs in Europe.
