Pitso Mosimane\u2019s time at Mamelodi Sundowns<\/a> will never be forgotten. He turned the club into African champions. Under his leadership, Sundowns won the CAF Champions League in 2016. <\/p>\n

That team included the explosive winger Antony Laffor, who played a vital role. Pitso and Laffor enjoyed immense success, dominating both locally and internationally. Their chemistry brought glory days to Chloorkop. <\/p>\n

Pitso built a winning machine, and Laffor was part of that golden era. Together, they lifted multiple trophies, including several league titles. Their success inspired many and raised the club\u2019s global profile. Those memories still echo in Laffor\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

Former Sundowns winger Antony Laffor has made his feelings clear\u2014he wants Pitso Mosimane back at Chloorkop. Sharing on Instagram, Laffor said, \u201cCoach @therealpitsomosimane, only if you could get a chance to take over our beloved club @sundownsfc. Next season Champions League is sure. Let us put football politics aside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laffor\u2019s heartfelt words reflect frustration. Sundowns, once a dominant force under Pitso, have lost their spark. The team\u2019s performances under Rulani Mokwena lacked that powerful African presence. While domestic titles continued, continental glory slipped away. Laffor believes Pitso is the man to restore Sundowns\u2019 African dominance. His passion for the club remains strong.<\/p>\n

He urges the club to overlook internal politics and focus on football success. Laffor sees Pitso as the only one who can bring back the Champions League. His message is loud and clear\u2014Sundowns must rise again, and Pitso Mosimane is the answer.<\/p>\n
