Raja Fans 'Demand' Club Follow Sundowns Model

Raja Fans 'Demand' Club Follow Sundowns Model

Raja Club Athletic supporters are reportedly demanding that the club be ruthless and fire their current manager, similar to how Mamelodi Sundowns dismissed Manqoba Mngqithi.

Despite being at the top of the South African top-flight table and still unbeaten in the CAF Champions League, the chiefs at Chloorkop decided earlier this week to axe the 53-year-old.

Being competitive in the aforementioned competitions has not helped Mngqithi's case, as the shock defeat to Magesi FC in the Carling Knockout Cup final, combined with subsequent draws in continental football against AS Maniema Union and FAR Rabat, led to the Umzimkulu native being relieved of his duties.

In his place, Ka Bo Yellow have decided to appoint former Esperance de Tunis head coach Miguel Cardoso. The Portuguese tactician's first game in charge will be against Moroccan champions Raja.

After completing their entire domestic campaign last season without suffering a single defeat in all competitions, the Green Eagles have experienced a drastic dip in form.

In 2023/24, the Casablanca-based side have already had three different managers at the helm, and now the fans want to see a fourth head coach take the reins, having witnessed the current manager's poor form.

Ricardo Sa Pinto took over at the home of the three-time African champions in mid-October and, in the nine matches he has managed, he has only won one game.

According to Le Site Info Sports, the supporters of the People's Club have now lost patience with the Portuguese manager. They want the club to be bold and decisive, like the Sundowns board, and dismiss their existing head coach.
