• The oddity of the entire thing sparked a hilarious reaction from X users, who took turns taking funny jabs at the coach

The usually chirpy Sundowns mentor, Rhulani Mokwena, again has the social media streets in stitches with his never-ending rants, punchlines and clapbacks in interviews.

As expected, Mokwena gave an animated interview at a media briefing after a recent encounter against DStv Championship side Stellenbosch FC.

Mokwena serves up the humour

The caption read:

“He thinks he is Pep. My man even imitates the accent.”

Nicknamed “Pep Lite” for his well-known adoration of Premier League manager Pep Guardiola, he has taken after the Manchester City manager in more than just his dominance of the local football scene.

In the clip, he seemingly imitates his Spaniard idol’s accent and other subtle mannerisms, including facial expressions and hand gestures.

He said:

“The coach of the season should be me.”

A hysterical response follows as the media breaks out in laughter.

Mokwena continues:

“I think the coach of the season must be the coach that wins the league. But I can’t give lots of compliments to the work that [Stellenbosch coach] Stevie Barker has done. He deserves incredible plaudits for his work and my many other colleagues.”

The interview excerpt generated over two million views and attracted 14 000 likes and nearly 2 000 reposts.
