CAF CL: Miguel Cardoso speaks after the coronation of Sundowns

10 years later, Mamelodi Sundowns has won its second CAF Champions League in its history. This after a victory (1-0) in the first leg and a draw (1-1) in the second against AS FAR. After the victory, coach Miguel Cardoso took the opportunity to launch a rant. The Portuguese technician sends a message to the leaders of South African football. He wants a lightening of the national calendar to allow clubs to perform well in the continental cup. 

«I believe that only commitment, a group of high-level players and a bit of luck will make it happen. If South Africa wants to have a team in the Champions League, some dynamics must change to create the necessary conditions. Three potential Bafana Bafana players could not play today, as they were exposed to an abnormal situation last month. It is time for South African football officials to think seriously about their vision of how football will develop in the country.” 

 he said.
