Issue Cardoso needs to address at Sundowns

Sports Journalist, Uche Anuma, while chatting with Briefly News, pointed out what Cardoso needs to address quickly before making his decision.

"It was a good start for Miguel Cardoso, but he needs to be wary of some of the mistakes his predecessors made while at the club," he said.

"He needs to learn from Manqoba's mistakes. He brought up the captaincy issues and might face serious problems if he takes away the captain handband from Williams.

"Williams is the perfect leader for the team in the absence of Themba, and Miguel should consider sticking with it."

According to Soccerway, Mamelodi Sundowns' next match is an away match against Stellenbosch FC in the Premier Soccer League on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

The game against the Stellies will be Cardoso's official coaching debut in the Betway Premiership for the Masandawana.
