Mamelodi Sundowns set to continue with Miguel Cardoso after CAF success

The Portuguese mentor led the Tshwane side to their second continental title of Africa's premium club competition after defeating Moroccan side AS FAR in the final, ending a ten year wait.

According to FARPost, Masandawana have now decided to keep Cardoso for another season extending his current deal which was set to expire at the end of June.

The 54-year-old has been at the helm of the club since December 2024, replacing Manqoba Mngqithi, winning one Betway Premiership title and reaching two consecutive CAF Champions League finals.

Sundowns have played 84 matches under Cardoso, winning 53, drawing 19 and losing 12 times.

Cardoso will be looking to help the club reclaim the domestic league title next season following Orlando Pirates victory in the 2025/26 campaign whilst also continuing their dominance on the continental stage. 

The Chloorkop based side will also look to end their drought in domestic cup competitions, having last won the MTN8 title in the 2021/22 season.
