Toni Silva's open letter to Pitso Mosimane was lit

Former Mamelodi Sundowns player Toni Silva took shots at coach Pitso Mosimane in an open letter that had Twitter in a frenzy.

In the letter, the Al-Ittihad player accused Mosimane of being "arrogant" and "killing dreams and players' careers".

Silva also accused Mosimane of favouritism for giving second chances to players who did not play well in games and disregarding others who played well. Silva said Mosimane did not allow him to play as a right winger, which is his preferred position.

"Fortunately for me, I will always have space in Europe because I am from there‚ but I sympathise with the other South African players ... You are just destroying their careers and they don’t have much options," said Silva.

The Guinea-Bissau player's open letter got mixed reactions from soccer lovers on social media, with some showing their support and others questioning whether Silva was just bitter.

The disgusting thing about this criticism of Toni Silva is the failure by people to acknowledge the indisputable facts he put out. #ToniSilva

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’. #ToniSilva

A lot of haters came out of nowhere after Toni Silva's unprecedented "truth". Yall calling Sir Pitso Mosimane all sorts of names for being one of the best coaches in Africa. Just know, it's only going to make Sundowns stronger. Stop the riot haters. pic.twitter.com/R5foVMl4BH
