Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Toni Silva has delivered the equivalent of a one star review on Google Maps for former boss Pitso Mosimane.
Silva left Sundowns having made just 11 appearances for the club since signing at the outset of the 2018/19 season. It appears he had a massive falling out with coach Mosimane as he delivered a spectacular rant in an open letter to the former Bafana Bafana boss released to the media.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea player accused Mosimane of allowing his ego to take over and said that the coach practiced favouritism and prevented players from progressing because of jealousy.
The statement from the man who is know plying his trade in Egypt, read: In my football career I have played for many teams, and when I left I have not once (given) any interviews about the team or the players within those teams. It has come to my attention that Pitso (Mosimane) has advised media that things did not work out' also saying (Themba) Zwane, Gaston (Sirino) and (Lebohang) Maboe never played for Liverpool or Chelsea but they give more' than (I do). So this is my response: Pitso you are the weakest coach I have ever had in my life.
You are arrogant and your ego does not help you as you fail to make your players happy, but killing dreams and player's careers, then turn around and say it didn't work out'. I was under your management for six months and all we do is the same training until the day I left and you call yourself a good coach? You always say if you play good in one match, you will play the next match, but that's not true because you have favouritism. You have players that get second chances even if they have bad games and other players who are good don't even get a chance to play because you are an unfair coach.
Do not go to the papers and pretend that you are a fair coach just because those people don't know how you operate, your staff and all the people you work with are afraid to tell you or talk to you because they know what kind of a person you are, but I'm here to tell you because I'm not scared and I believe in the truth.
Ever since I came to the club you never gave me a chance to play in my original position, which is as a right winger, yet you have a big mouth to tell the papers that things didn't work out and other players give more'. Don't forget that there are (the) favourites that you give freedom to, then (there are) others (who) don't give freedom and chances to.
Fortunately for me, I will always have space in Europe because I am from there, but I sympathize with the other South African players that you are just destroying their careers and they don't have (many) options, but you are too fake, Pitso and everyone knows, they are just scared to tell you. That team is so unprofessional, make players pay for their permits (Where have you ever heard of that?).
As you can see I don't give a shit about you, that's why I want the world to know. You made me sign an agreement that I must not return to South Africa within the next five years, and that I cannot play against Sundowns otherwise I will have to pay Sundowns 5m, and yes, I accepted and signed just so that I can leave that team and its unprofessionalism and get back on track in my career without even finishing the one year contract I had with you. I opted to leave early because I know my worth and staying there was just going to destroy my career (as) you do to half of the other talented players in your team.
You like acting big but please know your limits, you're just a coach in Africa. There are bigger coaches than you, don't forget that you're not international yet. You make us watch five-hour videos before a match, you fight with most of the players, you communicate information late. You are just a coach that can be fired and not the owner of the club, it would help you to learn from international players than to be arrogant.
Just look at Benni McCarthy, he is doing well because he has international exposure and he values his players, which is something you need to learn because you have talent that is sitting and not playing. You don't utilise your team to the best because you are blinded by your favouritism, and arrogant to the point where you won't listen to your own staff and assistant coach.
You took me from Europe because you saw the quality of player that I am and brought me to South Africa, now you want to say it didn't work out'? All the leagues I've played for are bigger than the one you're coaching. I decided to leave because I don't take shit from anyone, when I got there and saw how unprofessional it was I told you I want to leave and you begged me to stay, sending me messages every day saying You were good today in training', and best winger in the club, one on one'. Now you have the nerve to talk about me? You stopped playing me because I stood up for myself and told you I don't want to play striker as it's not my position, so you got frustrated.
A good coach finds (a) solution and gives his players freedom to perform at their comfort, not this style you have to force people to play positions, they don't know or are good at and then say it didn't work out'. You buy players because you don't want them to compete against you, and destroy the player's career. Is that being a good coach? A good coach takes on competition and wins with his skills and wants players to grow and develop from where they are to international spheres.
You have George Lebese in the team, the boy is not playing and everyone knows he is one of the best players in the league, and you can't even give a reason why, but you say it didn't work out'. You won't even let him play elsewhere because you know he would f
