Miguel Cardoso stays firm as Sundowns focus turns to CAF Champions League final

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has made clear that he has no intention of stepping down, brushing aside mounting pressure as the club prepares for a defining moment in its continental campaign.

Despite speculation surrounding his future following recent scrutiny, the Portuguese tactician remains firmly in charge and is fully focused on guiding the South African champions through the closing stages of the season.

Sundowns are now channeling all their energy into the CAF Champions League final, where they will compete for one of African football’s most prestigious honours against Moroccan side AS FAR.

Cardoso is expected to lead preparations without disruption, with the technical team maintaining stability ahead of the decisive clash.

Inside the camp, the message has been one of continuity and concentration.

The club believes consistency in leadership will be crucial as they step onto the biggest stage in African club football, where margins are often thin and experience plays a decisive role.

For Cardoso, the challenge is straightforward but demanding: keep Sundowns mentally sharp, tactically disciplined, and ready for the ultimate test.

The coming weeks will determine whether that resolve translates into continental glory.
