It’s been reported that Ernest middendorp was promised a coaching position at Mamelodi Sundowns if he can make sure chiefs doesn’t win the league. He has reportedly agreed a four years contract with Sundowns. Apparently the chairman knew Pitso is going to Egypt. #Pitsomosimane pic.twitter.com/aSkwDmb9nZ
