Mweene has the best Sundowns goalkeepers at his disposal

KENNEDY Mweene will complete a full circle in his career when he returns to the Fifa Club World Cup in the United States as Mamelodi Sundowns’ goalkeeper coach.

- MIHLALI BALEKA

Such is the depth that he has at his disposal, the 40-year-old is adamant that he'll have a nice selection headache as well.

Mweene was one of the goalkeepers - alongside Denis Onyango and Wayne Sandilands — who were part of the Sundowns team at the 2016 Club World Cup in Japan.

He built on the experience that he garnered from that event as he played a key role in the Brazilians’ dominance of South African football.

The Afcon-winning goalkeeper with Zambia hung up his gloves two seasons ago, trading standing between the sticks to being a deputy goalkeeper coach at Sundowns. But after his superior Wendell Robinson was sacked alongside head coach Mangoba Mnggithi late last year, he ascended to the position of head goalkeeper coach.

Mweene has managed to get the best out of his goalkeepers, No 2 Onyango and first-choice Ronwen Williams, as Sundowns won the Premiership on home soil.
