Can Manqoba Mngqithi's Mamelodi Sundowns Conquer Cup Final?

Some names do not allow their owners to slacken. Take Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi, whose name means conqueror.

Mngqithi has been in football circles for decades, dating back from his school-teaching days to his biggest break at Sundowns this season.

Yet for all that hes come across in his longevity and successful career, which include winning multiple titles at Sundowns, there are two things he loves in football.

The truth is I think I have failed a lot in many things in my life, and the reason I failed is because I have one drive and that has made me not have a balanced lifestyle, Mngqithi said yesterday in the build-up to Saturdays Carling Knockout Cup final against Magesi FC in Bloemfontein 6pm kick-off.

I am one person who likes winning, and I thought winning is everything. I always want to put myself on the podium and win as much as I can.
