Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns have a huge decision to make over the future of Dennis Onyango.

The Veteran shot-stopper's deal at Chloorkop is set to expire at the end of the ongoing campaign, having exercised the one-year club option last year.

As things stand, Onyango is eligible to sign a pre-contract with a team of his choice as he is into the final six months of his deal.

The Uganda international joined Sundowns from Mpumalanga Black Aces in 2011, and went on to lift a plethora of trophies.

He won 12 league titles to become the most successful player to ever grace the South African topflight, although three of the titles were clinched with the now-defunct SuperSport United.

In addition, the 40-year-old lifted the coveted CAF Champions League, two League Cups, a solitary Nedbank Cup, MTN8 title, CAF Super Cup and the AFL since joining the Tshwane giants.

Now, with his deal coming to an end, Foot Africa understands that Masandawana are contemplating offering him a role within the technical team, with talks expected to take place.

Notably, the Uganda national team is earmarking Onyango for the same role, as recently featured in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco after a U-turn on international retirement.
