adminMAMELODI Sundowns have been South Africa’s most dominant force both locally and on the continent in recent times and it’s easy to see why.
The Brazilians boast a 25-man strong technical team, which includes Zimbabwe legend Peter Ndlovu, showing how the Chloorkop outfit has adapted to world standards.
Closing in on their sixth consecutive league title, winning their first three points in the CAF Champions League, a last 16 berth in the Nedbank Cup, Sundowns have been at their rampant best once again this season.
The game, as per head coach Rulani Mokwena, belongs to the players; however, it is the backroom staff that ensure these players are as ready as possible for every single match.
Following the appointment of Michael Loftman as the club’s set-play coach, the Siya crew took a closer look at the full Sundowns’ technical team.
It is interesting to note that Sundowns’ full technical team has followed the world standards of the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United, who have staff deployed to almost every facet in the team.
From player caretakers, to multiple masseurs, the Sundowns’ technical team has it all.
