'I Told Motsepe To Select Pitso & Now He Can Return'

'I Told Motsepe To Select Pitso & Now He Can Return'

Pitso Mosimane

Despite the previous reports linking him to Kaizer Chiefs and various North African teams, coach Pitso Mosimane remains unattached, sparking speculation about his next move.

Amidst this uncertainty, former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Roger Feutmba has voiced a compelling suggestion: Mosimane should potentially return to his former club, Masandawana.

In an exclusive interview with Soccer Laduma, the Cameroonian-born legend discussed the possibility of reconciliation between Mosimane and Sundowns. Feutmba emphasized that despite past misunderstandings between Mosimane and the Sundowns management which even led to a court case, football's unifying nature could pave the way for a fresh collaboration.

"He has built himself very well with his capabilities and achievements and he can coach anywhere now but you have to protect that reputation. What he should is get involved with a team who are ready for serious business and have a vision of what they want. He has a vision and you can see from what he has achieved not only in this country but even in Egypt as well," Feutmba told the Siya crew.

"He has to protect that. And I know he can still coach at Sundowns because of his reputation while he was still at the team and what he achieved with the team. I know it wasn't easy from the start even for him but things changed and he won everything with Sundowns. I don't see any problem of going back there. Let me tell you something!"

Reflecting on Mosimane's initial appointment, Feutmba shared a personal anecdote about how he played a pivotal role in Mosimane's career at Sundowns.

"I was the one who suggested to the president Patrice Motsepe to give him a try in the first place. We were playing against Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Stadium and we were loosing that game and I was sitting with Mr Motsepe and Pitso (Mosimane) was sitting behind us. I suggested to him about Pitso and the rest is history so I don't see why he can't go back to Sundowns now," Feutmba told Soccer Laduma.

Feutmba acknowledged that there were missteps on both sides when Mosimane departed to join Al Ahly in Egypt, but he believes these problems should be put behind them to focus on a positive future. 

"He had a good time but also he has his own mistakes but management also made mistakes so they can forget that and move on. As I always say, 'football is a game of unity and peace'. Look at the good he did while with the team and what he can still do if he comes back and take that. You know success lies in the management. The coach just implements and contributes to the vision that the management has. Now, he is well equipped to be in that position again so I won't have a problem if he goes back to Sundowns. If he can coach and achieve what the team wants then why not?" Feutmba added.

Since Rulani Mokwena parted ways with the Brazilians, the team has yet to appoint a new head coach. In the interim, Manqoba Mngqithi and Steve Komphela have been overseeing pre-season training both locally and in Austria, where the team is currently camped. It is expected that Mngqithi would be the head coach for Sundowns until a new man is chosen for the hot seat.
