Mamelodi Sundowns could start their PSL title defence with a new coach at the helm after reports of coach Rhulani Mokwena possibly leaving the club
The Masandawana coach, who failed to win the Nedbank Cup and CAF Champions League, has reportedly argued with football director Flemming Berg over the club's direction.
Rhulani Mokwena considers taking a break
Mokwena could leave Sundowns, according to the tweet below:
A Briefly News source said Mokwena, who dedicated last season's PSL title to club boss Tlhopie Motsepe, recently signed a four-year contract at the club
The source said:
"Sundowns is a club that demands the best and everybody here is 100% committed to ensuring success. Coach Mokwena has done well and sets high standards for himself, so any issue about his future will be handled with respect and clarity. The coach just started his new contract with the club, so it will not make sense to make big changes now, but of course, you never know with football."
Fans are divided over Mokwena
Masandawana fans took to social media to say Mokwena should leave, while others say the coach has done more than enough to keep his job.
Loftus TR backs Mokwena leaving:
"Wow, I would love that. With this kind of quality players we deserve better."
Tunsi Robert feels for Mokwena:
"His biggest problem is favouritism; that will be his downfall. But I don't think management can blame him for not winning CCL."
Sundowns Divas cannot believe the news:
"No, this is not happening."
Mshi shi says it is time for Mokwena to go:
"Every coach can win the league with the players we have. Bro can't win important games & yes, he must leave now."
Bonga Nkadimeng is dumbfounded:
"That would be a big mistake to let go of coach Rhulani. What more can you ask from a coach who won 57 games in the league and only lost a single game?"
Pitso Mosimane says it is time for Teboho Mokoena to leave
As reported by Briefly News, former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says the club should consider cashing out on midfielder Teboho Mokoena.
Mosimane said the 27-year-old has achieved everything at the Pretoria club, and the time is right for him to pursue his dreams of playing overseas.
