Latest | Pitso Mosimane Praises Unstoppable Sundowns as SA’s #1 Club

Renowned South African coach Pitso Mosimane claims Mamelodi Sundowns are now bigger than Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

Sundowns have increased their dominance on the South African football scene this season despite new signings from their opponents, particularly Chiefs and Pirates.

The defending champions have won all 11 league matches this season and are currently at the top of the PSL.

Sundowns won their sixth straight League Cup as the Soweto Giants continued to struggle to catch up with them.

Chiefs were his last team to win the league in Soweto in the 2014/15 season, and Pirates were his last success in the league in 2012.

However, while the Bucs have won numerous trophies domestically, Amakhosi have gone nine years without winning a silver medal.

Mosimane explains how the Brazilians were able to overtake his two teams and become the biggest club of the PSL era.

What Mosimane said

“Chiefs were at some stage the biggest club. Pirates as well were a big team but Sundowns have opened a big gap,” Mosimane said as quoted by The Sunday World.

“They are investing a lot of money into the club – they are buying the best players on the continent and also from South America. They have a system, they have scouts to go look for quality players.

“I was there, I know it. I used to travel with Walter Steenbok to South America. In the PSL era, the biggest team is Sundowns, they are winning the trophies.”

Pirates defeated the Golden Arrows in their last match, but it seems they have little chance of winning the league.

Chiefs may need to improve their consistency to have a chance of competing in the league, but they can still challenge for the Nedbank Cup to end their winless run.

Mosimane could reportedly join Chiefs, but the tactician insists he has not received an offer from Amakhossi.
