Sundowns manager: Onyango treatment 'unfair'

Mamelodi Sundowns' manager has gone public with his unhappiness over how Onyango has been handled at the club, calling the situation unfair, according to Pulse Sports.

By Brian Otieno· Football editor·Published ·1 MIN READ

The comments, reported by Pulse Sports, don't spell out exactly what Onyango has gone through, whether it's about game time, fitness, a disciplinary call or something else entirely. What's clear is that the Sundowns boss felt strongly enough to say so out loud, using the word 'unfair' rather than the usual squad-management platitudes.

At a club with Sundowns' size and expectations in South African and CAF football, a manager airing grievances about a player's treatment is the kind of line that tends to get noticed in the dressing room before it gets noticed anywhere else. Whether this stays a passing quote or turns into something bigger, a transfer situation, a fallout, a public back-and-forth, isn't clear yet.

Flagside will follow this one. If Onyango's situation develops into an actual dispute at Mamelodi Sundowns, there's a real story here.
