One source claims Cardoso led Sundowns to their eighth consecutive league title, while another source states Sundowns are 'poised to lose' their eight-year grip on the title to Orlando Pirates, and a third mentions Pirates being on the brink of glory after Sundowns lost to Galaxy.

Wikipedia explicitly states that football manager Miguel Cardoso (José Miguel Azevedo Cardoso) was born on 28 May 1972. As of 2024/2025, he would be 52 or 53, but the evidence provided for 'Miguel Cardoso' also lists other people. However, the specific football manager's birth date (1972) makes the '53-year-old' claim plausible, but the provided evidence for claim 1 includes irrelevant results about a singer and a writer. Looking at the football manager's Wikipedia entry, he was born in 1972. If the current year is 2025, he is 53. However, the prompt asks to evaluate based on evidence. The evidence for claim 1 is messy, but the Wikipedia entry for the manager confirms his birth date as May 28, 1972. Wait, if he was born in 1972, he is 52/53. The claim is likely true, but the evidence provided for 'Miguel Cardoso' in the search results is contradictory (listing a singer and a writer). Actually, the football manager's Wikipedia entry is the authoritative source. He is Portuguese and born in 1972. He is 52/53. I will mark as verified.

Web search results from the same date (May 26, 2026) provide contradictory information: one says there will be discussions for him to continue, while another says the chairman is set to terminate his contract.
