Additionally, Sundowns triumphed in the inaugural African Football League (AFL) competition, defeating Wydad Casablanca of Morocco in the final.
Mngqithi highlighted that the expectations at Sundowns are high, with defeat not accepted.
“At Sundowns, you are not expected to lose any match so I think the same will continue this year,” Mngqithi said on SuperSport TV.
“We are playing every match to win it which means we are playing every competition to win it.
“We know sometimes it’s not realistic but we always have to try and push and see what you can get.
“The squad that we have, the numbers that we have in terms of personnel suggest that we can go through whatever stage of the season in terms of injuries suspensions and all that.
“So, we are we are quite content that the team we have is good enough to achieve our targets.”
Masandawana faces a demanding schedule in the upcoming 2024/25 campaign as they are set to compete in multiple prestigious competitions.
These include the MTN8, AFL, Betway Premiership, CAF Champions League, Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
