'If sacking Mngqithi feels like funeral, then I entered hell when Mokwena was fired by Mamelodi Sundowns! Manqoba put his ego first & thought he was Jomo Sono' - Fans

The former Golden Arrows coach has been compared with his Rhulani Mokwena following his dismissal.

Mamelodi Sundowns recently parted ways with coach Manqoba Mngqithi who was fired by the defending Premier Soccer League champions in favour of Portuguese Miguel Cardoso.

The 53-year-old had served the Brazilians since 2013, playing a crucial role in helping the team win several major trophies.

It is understandable why Siyanda Zwane, who played under Mngqithi at Sundowns and Golden Arrows, said his exit from Masandawana felt like a funeral since the club was a family.

A section of the fans feel the sentiments were blown out of proportion, while a few believe Mngqithi wasn't given enough chances.

Have a look at their arguments as sampled by GOAL.

    It doesn't hurt so much to him

    I don't think it hurts so much to him if you see how much is going to take home. It's a lifetime money he can invest and can continue with his career. If he wants more than 20+ million it's a lot of money - Mandla Xaba

    It was a hateful dismissal

    Yes, their aim has been fulfilled. They started to downgrade him when putting Rhulani on top of him. Now they sacked him after all he had done for them. I think this is a hateful dismissal - Khanyisan Rueben

    He was arrogant

    He was arrogant. Even made cynical comments about other teams and the national coach. Let's see if he will have the same arrogance when coaching Arrows. Football will humble you - Meshack Mzakes Biyela

    Even Ferguson left Manchester United

    Immediately you enter, sure you know you will exit as well. He played his part and life goes on. Even Ferguson left Manchester United at some point. Lionel Messi left Barcelona and there was a worldwide outcry. Life went on and is still rolling -  Seven Mkholo

    It is only healthy to laugh at a joke. Losing a job is no joke; I turn my laughter into mourning. At this time he needs our support he is our own -  Xiluva Ntsako Vuthlari Mncube

    He thought he was Jomo Sono

    Emotional intelligence? Mngqithi couldn't play some players only because they supported Mokwena. He put his needs and ego before the team first and completely forgot he had been hired. He thought he was Jomo Sono - Florence Samoele
