Mamelodi Sundowns have officially confirmed the departure of Portuguese midfielder Miguel Reisinho. The announcement comes after a short spell with the Chloorkop side.
As reported by kickoff.com, the CAF Champions League winners verified his exit on Friday via social media. The player had already posted a farewell message on Instagram on 7 August.
A Difficult Spell in South Africa
The Portuguese midfielder joined Mamelodi Sundowns FC as a free agent in September 2025. He previously played for European outfit Boavista.
However, his time in Tshwane did not go as planned. Reisinho and the club parted ways by mutual agreement.
- Made just six appearances across all competitions.
- Scored one goal during his single season in South Africa.
This move highlights the extreme competition for starting spots within top African squads. Even talented foreign arrivals can struggle to secure regular game time.
Focus Shifts to the MTN8 Semi-Finals
With squad changes underway, the technical team must focus on immediate pitch matters. Sundowns face a critical domestic cup test this weekend.
The team travels to take on Lamontville Golden Arrows in the second leg of the MTN8 semi-finals. Sundowns must overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit to keep their cup dreams alive.
The match takes place at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday, with kick-off set for 15:00.
