Mamelodi Sundowns has bolstered its Technical Team and football-department with the appointment of Michael Loftman as Set Play Coach. The appointment was made in an effort to raise the bar including a specialist to the Technical Team. All elite sport is about gaining small margins. Replays and restarts are a significant part of modern-day football and are even more crucial when playing in the CAF Champions League.
Loftman, who has held various coaching roles as head coach and development coach, holds a UEFA A license from the English FA and a Sports Science & Coaching Masters Degree from Brunel University. In his role, the experienced coach and performance data analyst will work on the pitch and compile analytic data to provide information to improve an important part of the game.
The Sporting Director of Mamelodi Sundowns, Flemming Berg welcomed Michael and said “we are very happy to have Michael and add his competencies to the experienced and highly qualified technical team.”
Mamelodi Sundowns will travel to Cameroon for its second ground B Match against Coton Sport Garoua and Michael will travel with the team.

Thank you to the technical team for the addition, welcome to the home of champions mr Loftman, hope you enjoy your stay at the home of the Yellow nation 👆👆👆👆🏆
Happy with him joining as long as we keep everyone else whose part of the technical team right now including Coach Steve and Coach Manqoba
Ours is to support the team with its vision. I remember when Pitso joined in 2012, he spoke about short term, mid term(5years) and long term(10years) plans. We were a laughing stock. Today the haters say we are winning because of money, we are killing competition, we are buying from Woolworths and the rest buy from Shoprite. Vision, leadership that is not greedy and proper planning is the name of the game
