Mamelodi Sundowns remain fully behind head coach Miguel Cardoso. Recent results in major CAF competitions have brought some scrutiny.

The Portuguese tactician faced questions after missing out on the CAF Champions League group stages. A defeat to USM Alger in the CAF Super Cup final added further pressure.

Egyptian media reports recently linked former Egypt coach Hossam Hassan with the role. A Moroccan marketing company reportedly put his name forward to club officials.

Despite these rumors and continental setbacks, sources indicate the club leadership maintains its backing. Mamelodi Sundowns continue to prioritize long-term stability and high ambitions on the continent.

The immediate focus is entirely on improving performances and meeting seasonal objectives. There is currently no sign of an imminent change in the technical team.
