In an interview with Forbes Africa, as per iDiskiTimes, Mokwena claimed he had challenges managing diverse characters in Sundowns' squad during his time at Chloorkop.

The 37-year-old had several quality players in his squad during his time with Masandawana and had a good relationship with most of them.

"It is presumably the area where I was challenged the most at Sundowns, but it is one of the most crucial roles of a coach in modern football," the South African mentor said during the interview.

"I knew the players' families, the grandmother, the mother, their wives, their children. I have worked on building human relationships as part of my coaching arsenal.

"You manage players as human beings because they are the ones responsible for the team performance and helping you as the coach achieve the results and objectives you set out."
