South Africa legend Benni McCarthy is reportedly a target for Premier Soccer League champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The tactician is currently a free agent after Manchester United opted against renewing his contract as the strikers' coach. The South African served under manager Erik Ten Hag for two years before Ruud van Nistelrooy replaced him at the beginning of the ongoing campaign.
Masandawana made changes in their technical team; they parted ways with Rhulani Mokwena before promoting Manqoba Mngqithi, but speculations have it that the management want the former Orlando Pirates striker at the top.

Disrespect to Mngqithi?
Benni McCarthy to Sundowns, now that’s a twist I didn’t see coming. It makes sense why he is back in the country – Tom Lukhiz
Manqoba Mngqithi and his technical team are really disrespected here. The season has just started and already there are plans for a new coach. How does the coach even build a solid squad when he knows anytime he can be demoted? – Kagiso Hleza
Mngqithi is the interim head coach, not the permanent head coach, right? – Joshua Hendricks
It's not safe to take Mamelodi Sundowns' coaching role at the moment, they are in transition – Xolani Melchi
I don't think Mamelodi Sundowns need a coach right now. The present technical team is going to take Masandawana far – Shine Makwakwa
Bring McCarthy or Malesela to Sundowns!
The propaganda against Manqoba is starting to bore me. Hands off our coach, please respect him – Mfuniseli Enoch Mevana
In Benni McCarthy I trust. I would wish him to come and coach Mamelodi Sundowns or appoint Dan ‘Dance' Malesela – Sanele Mkhize
Masandawana have a good coach Manqoba Mngqithi. Hiring Benni McCarthy will destroy us three times – Newton Dictator
I love Benni but not for Sundowns. Let them keep searching for a coach but McCarthy is not the one for Masandawana – Moshe Kgwadi
McCarthy's attitude of fighting with match officials is not good for Sundowns, hell no! – Hill Culture Fitzgerald
