Following a second shouting match with members of the opposing team, Mosimane has pleaded with the Premier Soccer League to protect him.
Mosimane claimed he was ‘attacked’ by Kaizer Chiefs’ kit manager when his side lost to Steve Komphela’s men.
During their 1-0 loss to Golden Arrows in the Nedbank Cup, Mosimane was seen exchanging words with Abafana Bes’thende CEO Gordon Masondo.
“You saw what happened against Chiefs. You saw what happened, the manager of Arrows right in my technical area,” said Mosimane after the game.
“Maybe there is a plot against me, I don’t know. People are putting their people to come at me. I feel unprotected.
“When I react I am a loose cannon or I am not thinking. That’s my life, that’s my story in the PSL and who cares about me. People are coming to me.
“You saw at FNB, you saw tonight, Masondo came to our technical area to cause problems.
“The coach (Clinton Larsen) can come and he came and there are no issues. Steve (Komphela) came and shook hands, but just immediately after that there are things happening.
“But it’s okay. But I understand and I know why, because we are Sundowns, because we are a good team. We are a big team, everybody has to do everything and everything and who is the person easiest to target?
“You can’t target the players, you have to target the one leading the team and it’s me. It’s okay, it’s part of life. I am going through this, it’s in my history, it’s in my books, I have to go through this.”
