Mamelodi Sundowns hardly miss when it comes to signing the right players for the right positions. Any secrets or tips?
MANQOBA MNGQITHI ON MAMELODI SUNDOWNS SCOUTING
According to coach Mngqithi, scouting is a collaborative effort at Kabo Yellow rather than an individual’s decision.
“The analyst starts to look, the data analyst, the conditioning guys, physical data analyst, and we start to look at all these perimeters and metrics and start asking, ‘is this specimen likely to give you what you want in that particular position?’” Mngqthi said via the Sowetan.
“I think that helps a lot, fortunately we are that team that has a lot of eyes and ears. We can listen to one another probably because we have confidence in each other’s abilities.
“And that is why we always come out with players like maybe not many people have identified them at that time because at least we know what type of a full-back we are looking for.
“Then we start looking deep into those individuals. I must give the club credit in that regard because I think when the name has been dropped in, we start looking,” the Sundowns mentor concluded.
