Pitso still right for Sundowns?

Cape Town - Pitso Mosimane has heard it all before. The criticism of his management style is nothing new, not after high-profile stops at SuperSport United and Bafana Bafana prior to arriving at Sundowns.

Invariably, when they've come, the critical evaluations of Mosimane have had a narrow focus: he becomes too chummy with his players, he allows stars to run the dressing room and he doesn't rule with an iron fist. However, his touchline antics would prove otherwise.

Indeed, when results aren't favourable, his regularly-cited qualities are often flipped around and characterised as weaknesses - his diplomacy becomes a soft touch, his jovial demeanour a weak hand.
