“I am sure he will learn and grow from these situations. Today it is him, tomorrow it is another coach and it could even be me. That’s why you must have some form of empathy and some feeling, but this is our profession and this is what we signed up for.
“Some people say it with eloquent English that when you pray for the sun, be prepared for the rain — and when the rain comes, be prepared to deal with the mud.

The 36-year-old Sundowns mentor said he was speaking from experience and urged the fans to be patient and show love to Ntseki.
“I know because I have been there — I am not talking out of lack of experience of what he is going through. God loves us all and I am sure the sun will shine again for him,” he added.
“He is more experienced than me, he has seen more of these situations than I have and I should be the last person to give him advice.”
