“Mamelodi Sundowns today announced the appointment of Miguel De Azevedo Cardoso as the new Head Coach of the Club with immediate effect,” the club said on their website.
Speaking at the press conference, Cardoso said trophies are not the only way to judge a coach. Development of players is also crucial. While at Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, the new Sundowns coach developed young players such as Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal) and Viktor Kovalenko (Atalanta).
“I’ve developed players who went on to play for big clubs. Players like Mudryk, Zinchenko and Kovalenko,” Cardoso said the press conference.
