Castro And Mosimane Not Seeing Eye To Eye, Exit Likely?

Leonardo Castro could be seeing out the final months of his contract at Mamelodi Sundowns, with Siya sources indicating that the Colombian and Head Coach Pitso Mosimane are not seeing eye to eye.

The striker was offered a new and improved deal with the Brazilians some time back, however, the player has since been heavily linked with an exit from the Chloorkop-based club.

The 28-year-old’s contract is set to come to an end next year, June 30, which means that the player will be free to agree to a pre-contract with any interested suitor from January next year.

Siya sources have indicated that the Colombian’s exit from Masandawana seems more and more likely at this point, with the source also suggesting that Castro and Mosimane are no longer seeing eye to eye and an exit from Sundowns could be the most likely outcome at this point.

Castro has recently been linked with the likes of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates and it remains to be seen where the player’s next destination will be, should he move on from the Brazilians in the near future.

Vilakazi: It’s Been A While Since Sundowns Tasted Glory

Mamelodi Sundowns’ Sibusiso Vilakazi says that is has been a while since the Brazilians tasted glory but they will try their best to go all out and claim the Telkom Knockout Cup this season. Sundowns will lock horns with Chippa United later this month, October, in the round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout competition, with Head Coach Pitso Mosimane’s side keen to retain the trophy which they last won in 2015. Speaking after the TKO draw took place, Vilakazi revealed that after Sundowns failed to progress further than the quarter-final stages of the MTN8 competition, the Telkom Knockout will be an opportunity for the Chloorkop-based club to dust themselves off. “It’s been a while since we tasted glory, in the form of a trophy on the domestic league. We will try by all means to get this one for the team, for ourselves and for the supporters. But with that said, we aren’t looking forward too much. We will take it one game at a time. First, there is Chip...

We’re Going There For A Win

This week, we hear from Supporters Club Committee Member Masilo Machaka on the TKO last 16 results, as well as the upcoming quarter-final round. On the Telkom Knockout Last 16 results Firstly, I’ll start off with the encounter between Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu. I think the Chiefs players played their hearts out, they showed character on the day and there was unity amongst them. They played for the badge of Kaizer Chiefs and I commend them for that. What really caught me by surprise though was the game between Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns. Who would have thought that Sundowns would be knocked out of the tournament in the early stages? I don’t know how their supporters are feeling after the performances of their beloved team over the past few weeks and I’m sure they are asking themselves, ‘What’s next?’ They are out of the Telkom Knockout, but that’s football. Football is unpredictable – you win some and you lose some. Ha...
