PSL Manager Tips Rulani Mokwena to Be One of the Best Coaches in the World

  • Rulani Mokwena has been tipped to become one of the best football managers in the world by a Premier Soccer League tactician
  • The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach has been going through a rough patch since joining Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club last summer
  • The South African mentor is rated as one of the best coaches in Africa, but he's seen as one of the top managers who can take the football scene by storm with his tactics

A Premier Soccer League manager has tipped Rulani Mokwena to be rated as one of the best football coaches in the world despite recent issues he's having with his present job.

The South African tactician left Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of last season to join Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club but has struggled to hit the ground running in the Botola Pro League.

He recently made some daring claims about being relieved of his duties as the Red Castle coach if the club management thinks he's holding the club back due to their recent poor performances.

Ouaddou tips Mokwena to become one of the best in the world

In an interview with iDiskiTimes, Marumo Gallants' coach Abdeslam Ouaddou believes Mokwena has what it takes to be rated as one of the best managers in the world in the future.

"I don’t really have any advice for my brother Coach Rulani because he understands the ecosystem very well," Ouaddou told iDiski Times.
"But what I can suggest is that he stays patient. Morocco is a football-loving country, full of passionate fans, but like in many Mediterranean countries, impatience can be a problem. Add to that the influence of the digital world, where coaches are constantly under pressure due to social media, and it doesn’t make things easier for them to work calmly.
"People need to realize that a club is like a business now, and every project takes time. There are short-term, medium-term, and long-term projects. I believe Coach Rulani is in Morocco for the long haul, and if we give him the time he needs, he will bring success. I’m confident that with time, he’ll win trophies and put Casablanca back in the spotlight, competing for African cups and the Champions League.
