Moreover, the football pundit argued that people who underestimate quality of South African coaches are mistaken as Pitso showed a lot at Mamelodi Sundowns that he is able of doing what some think he can not.

“We need to give Pitso the respect, he has gone through primary, high school and tertiary, so he has what it takes to win the Champions League.
