“On that issue, I see things a little differently,” Mngomeni told iDiski Times.

Mngomeni believes local coaches should be afforded the same time and respect as their foreign counterparts, particularly in top-flight roles like the one currently held by Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro.
“I have nothing against foreign coaches,” he clarified.
“But I would love to see a South African coach given that same trust, time, and respect. Who knows—he might do just as well, or even better.”
