“To see Themba Zwane playing 90 minutes and starting the second match, that already sent alarm bells,” Mngqithi said.

“I think we could have dealt with this better as the two coaches, and to be honest, I do not want to give him a call to talk to him directly.”

Earlier in the week, the two coaches were at loggerheads over the amount of playing time Teboho Mokoena was getting at Sundowns.

Despite being one of the national team’s key players, Mokoena is yet to feature for his club this season.

Reacting to that on Thursday, Mngqithi essentially told the Belgian to mind his own business.

“He must manage his house and allow me manage my house,” Mngqithi was quoted by iDiskiTimes.

“Because nobody tells me who plays in this team. I cannot be expected to be told by another coach who to play in my team.”
