Benni McCarthy’s Next Move: Sundowns and MLS Clubs in the Hunt

McCarthy, the former head coach of Cape Town City and AmaZulu, has been candid about his eagerness to get back into management. In a recent CNN Sports interview, he revealed that this is his exciting next chapter in the football work.

Reports indicate that McCarthy is in talks with Mamelodi Sundowns, who have just promoted Manqoba Mngqithi to head coach following Rulani Mokwena’s departure.

Sundowns’ recent exit from the MTN 8 at the hands of Stellenbosch FC has sparked rumors that Mngqithi, a loyal fixture at the club, might be under threat if performances don’t improve. With the pressure mounting, Mngqithi faces a tough challenge to secure results, especially with Orlando Pirates and others eager to challenge Sundowns’ supremacy in the Betway Premiership.

KickOff reports that several MLS teams have reached out to McCarthy, expressing interest in his coaching services. McCarthy, who recently worked alongside Man United’s Erik ten Hag before his contract concluded last season, is clearly in high demand.
