Mamelodi Sundowns fans are divided as coach Miguel Cardoso faces mounting pressure following a shocking string of poor results since the season kicked off on August 3.

Some supporters are demanding the Portuguese tactician’s head, blaming him for a shaky start to the campaign. 

But the drama doesn’t end there — other fans claim they’ve been receiving direct messages on social media urging them to defend Cardoso and resist calls for his sacking.

The clash of opinions has ignited a fiery debate across Sundowns’ fanbase, leaving the club caught in the eye of a growing storm just two months into the season. 

One fan claimed on social media to have received a direct message offering R1,000 to publicly tweet support for Cardoso. The message urged him to promote the idea that the coach should stay despite the team’s struggles.

Reactions from fans poured in, with some expressed outrage at the alleged attempt to influence opinions with money

The contrasting opinions highlighted a fractured fanbase, with debates continuing across Twitter and Facebook as Sundowns tried to regroup on the pitch.

While some supporters insisted that Cardoso still had time to turn things around, others warned that patience among fans was wearing dangerously thin. 

With mounting pressure and whispers of possible changes behind the scenes, tension at Chloorkop continued to rise.

As speculation swirled over his future, one question lingered across social media and among the stands — will Miguel Cardoso survive the storm, or has Sundowns already begun looking for his replacement?
