Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Miguel Reisinho has denied claims by head coach Miguel Cardoso that adaptation challenges led to his departure from the club. Reisinho spoke publicly for the first time since leaving the team, refuting the coach’s assertion that he struggled to adjust to the club’s demands. The comments come after Reisinho’s exit was confirmed earlier this month, with no official statement from the club. Cardoso had previously cited difficulties in integrating new players as a factor in the team’s performance. Reisinho’s response suggests a disagreement over the reasons behind his transfer. The situation highlights ongoing tensions within the squad and coaching staff. No further details have been released regarding the terms of Reisinho’s departure.
