SuperSport United’s Matthews reveals how a failed move to Mamelodi Sundowns hurt Modiba

SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews has revealed how he motivated midfielder Aubrey Modiba following a failed move to Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Bafana Bafana international was reportedly close to joining their crosstown rivals in January, but the deal collapsed at the last hour, with Matthews saying the left-footed player needed a pep talk.

Following his failed move to join coach Pitso Mosimane’s men, the technical team led by coach Kaitano Tembo had to intervene to help uplift the Limpopo-born player who has since extended his stay until 2024.
