Mosimane joined Downs in 2012, while Mngqithi signed in 2014 after coaching Golden Arrows, AmaZulu and Chippa United.

Together the pair have amassed a wealth of silverwear and remain in contention to retain their PSL title, should league action continue this season.

Downs are also in the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup where they will face Bidvest Wits.

Reflecting on his time at the club thus far, Mngqithi explained his understanding with Mosimane, as well as his relationship with the fans and owner Patrice Motsepe, while paying tribute to the club's technical team.

He told Umhlobo Wenene FM, as reported by Goal: "There's an understanding between me and Pitso, besides being coaches at Sundowns, we are also friends outside football. That makes us aim for big things. So, that doesn't distract me because we share the same vision.

"I think what's important when you are both leaders, one, you must be humble. Humility is very key and if you are humble and focus on achieving your targets, forget about wanting to become the head coach or who is the assistant coach."

Mngqithi added: "We all want to achieve. I also want to mention that we have a coach Wendell Robinson, he's our assistant and goalkeeper coach. We have Kabelo Rangoaga who is in our conditioning department and many people behind the scenes.

"So, in as much as we get the glory as coaches, but the technical team is bigger than just me and Pitso or even the president himself, everybody is contributing.

"The supporters, the board, and everyone are contributing and that relationship helps a lot. We are a collective and that makes us strong but we cannot take away the credit the coach deserves, he's a leader. We cannot take the glory when he deserves it."
