Goal reports that Wekundu wa Msimbazi have whittled down a list of 100 coaches who wanted to replace fired Didier Gomes Da Rosa to four and Mokwerna is on the list, along with ex-Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer.

"Our target now is to hire an African coach and not from Europe, the issue of the coach does not need rushing, we know we don’t have a full-time coach now but we are working on it," said Simba CEO Barbara Gonzalez, according to The South African.

According to Gonzalez, the club is not in a rush to hire a new coach and they want to make sure that it's the right pick for them. Their description of what they want in a new coach fits Mokwena's description and the coach could be on his way soon.

Mamelodi Sundowns clinched the MTN8 title over the weekend in a dramatic win which saw them take the cup home by winning 3-2 on penalties against Cape Town City. Mokwena is impressed by Shalulile, even though he didn't score in open play.

It's difficult for many teams to keep Peter Shalulile quiet for the whole game but Cape Town City did the job, making the game go onto extra time and then penalties. After a 14-year drought without the MTN8 trophy, Sundowns celebrated in stunning fashion.
