Former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi - Sundowns Media.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has dismissed reports that he had been approached to coach Kaizer Chiefs.
There were rumours that Mngqithi was the target to turn around Amakhosi fortunes at the start of the season, but the South African Premier Soccer League outfit opted to hire the services Nasreddine Nabi.
“There was never any discussions with Kaizer Chiefs before,” he told Robert Marawa on Radio 947 as quoted by idiskitimes.co.za. “And I hear people saying that I did not want to take the job, there was never anything that came.
“It was always rumors that never led to anything. There was never any formal approach.”
Mngqithi has already left Sundowns with the PSL champions replacing him with Miguel De Azevedo Cardoso as the new Head Coach with immediate effect. Miguel was the coach of Esperance Sportive de Tunis and reached the finals of the 2023/24 CAF Champions League.
He joined Sundowns with three of his assistants namely, Fabio Fernandes, Pedro Azevedo and João Araujo. Miguel, has coached in Portugal, Spain, France, Greece, and Ukraine at some of the biggest Clubs such as Porto, Braga, Deportivo La Coruna, Celta Vigo, AEK Athens, Nantes and Shaktar Donetsk.
