Mamelodi Sundowns’ hierarchy have shown commitment to coach Miguel Cardoso after Sunday’s 3-2 aggregate shock loss to Pyramids FC.
The club stunned the continent last season after former coach Rulani Mokwena was shown the door after his Sundowns team failed to win the CAF Champions League.
Mokwena’s team lost to Cardoso’s Esperance in the semi-finals.

Despite Miguel’s failure to make Kabo Yellow the African champions for the first time since 2016, the Tshwane giants are reportedly going forward with the Portuguese coach in charge of Sundowns.
“Soccer Laduma understands that Cardoso has the full backing of management at Chloorkop and he will be given another opportunity to push for the Champions League title,” the report stated.
“There is, however, a lot more pressure on the coach to deliver more than just the Betway Premiership title next season. The club is not likely to accept the coach not delivering the Champions League title next season.
“Sundowns are going to back Cardoso with new players during the transfer window, with the coach expected to have a bigger say in who they bring in after spending the last few months getting to know South African football better,” the outlet added.
