 Mamelodi Sundowns Coach Expresses Concern Over Midfielder's Attitude

Sipho Mbule, the 24-year-old midfielder at Mamelodi Sundowns, has received a stern warning to take his football career seriously, as his lackluster attitude could jeopardize his future in the sport.

The source explained that while Mbule possesses the talent to become one of the country's top midfielders, he must undergo a significant mindset shift. This transformation involves heeding the advice of his coaches and senior teammates.

Since his transfer from SuperSport United to the Brazilians in August 2022, Mbule has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup and is currently sidelined due to an injury.

A source within the Sundowns camp has revealed that Mbule's lack of dedication and interest during training sessions has become a source of frustration for the technical team, led by head coach Rulani Mokwena.

The source emphasized that Mokwena and his coaching staff hold Mbule in high regard, recognizing his potential as a key player for the future. However, they are growing increasingly concerned about his behavior and attitude.



"He is undeniably gifted, but talent alone won't suffice. Hard work and discipline are essential," the source stated. "He needs to show respect for the club and his fellow players. Mbule must recognize that he represents one of Africa's premier teams, where competition for his position is fierce. Demonstrating enthusiasm and a genuine passion for the game is imperative."

The source also suggested that Mbule's injury might serve as a blessing in disguise, affording him time for self-reflection on his career and the necessary adjustments.

Although Mbule's future remains bright, he must act swiftly before it's too late. "He still has ample time to turn things around. Youth is on his side, and he can learn from this experience. 

There are still great achievements ahead of him, both with Sundowns and the national team. However, it's incumbent upon him to take his career seriously and seize every opportunity. He must demonstrate to the coach that he merits a place on the field," the source concluded.
