The former Glasgow Rangers midfielder has been a free agent since leaving Sundowns at the beginning of the season and could feature in his debut should he make co-coaches Vusumuzi Vilakazi and Arthur Zwane’s match-day selection.
“It’s gonna be a difficult game, I know Sundowns very well I’ve got a lot of friends there that’s the club I played for, for many years,” Zungu told the media.
“Obviously, the team has been doing well before I even signed here. I watched a lot of games what the guys are doing and the football they playing I feel like it’s gonna be a very fascinating game because from my perspective both teams have similarities, they play what you call modern football.
“It’s gonna be a nice game obviously we have to apply ourselves and want it more. If you want it more and you’re more hungry on the day you can match Sundowns.
