"Mnqithi Is a Small Team Coach": Annoyed Football Fan Fires Shots at Sundowns' Co Coach After He Trolls Chiefs

• Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has set it all off after his remarks following the CAF Champions League victory over Al-Ahly
• Mngqithi accused Kaizer Chiefs of being spiteful after it let the Egyptians use its training facilities ahead of the match, among other tasty comments
• This touched a lot of football fans on their studios, with one Twitter user's post about his coaching ability going viral

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Mandla Mnqgithi has triggered something of a toxic reaction among local football fans.

Mngqithi has been in the maelstrom that has been the fallout from the CAF Champions League match between Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly last Saturday.

The noise started with Kaizer Chiefs letting Al Ahly train at its training complex in the south of Johannesburg at the request of coach Pitso Mosimane. It then turned into a furore before the match at Soccer City, when some Sundowns fans blockaded a route leading into the stadium.

Sundowns went on to win the match 1-0 via a Peter Shalulile. Mnqqithi did not miss the opportunity to twist the knife, saying that Chiefs being hospitable to the Egyptians made the victory all the more sweeter.

A Twitter user, Thulani Nombali (@ThulaniNombali) was triggered by Mngqithi's comments, saying:

"Manqoba is another small team coach hiding behind group work. In fact all 3 of them..."

This was a cheap shot at Sundowns' so-called three musketeers, including Mngqithi, Rhulani Mokwena and Steve Khompela. This sent Twitter into an uproar.

"I couldn't agree more. I like them like that just like Pitso was labelled Makhalanjalo aka crybaby back in the day. Such small team coaches have a tendency to deliver and exceed expectations."

@NI_Mazibuko said:

"Manqoba must put it plain and say... As a collaboration of himself, Khompela and Rhulani, they have beaten a collaboration. That's what happened. Fact is non of them cam coach MS alone as a head coach. Not co-coach..."
