Coach Rhulani Mokwena anticipates things to get difficult next season
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena has achieved a lot in almost his first full season as a solo head coach of the club. The COSAFA Men’s Coach of the Year has already won two titles and has reached the semifinals of the CAF Champions League and also reached two domestic Cup Finals this season. But he anticipates that next season will be an extremely difficult one for him.
Mokwena took over as the solo head coach midway through last season, after co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi was demoted, and hit the ground running.
This season was his first full season as a solo coach and he guided his team to win the domestic DSTV Premiership title, the African Football League title, and reached the semifinals of the CAF Champions League.
Mokwena also helped Sundowns to reach the MTN 8 Final so far this season and will also play Orlando Pirates in the final of the Nedbank Cup final at the Mbombela Stadium on the 1st of June.
“I met an old man at the airport today he is a former coach and he is very well known in SA football and he said to me the late Clive Barker said to him after he won his first league title that your life will change completely and from now on things will be extremely difficult for you and he gave me words of advice to which I am very grateful for,” says Mokwena.
