As some South African insiders have informed that Rhulani Mokwena had agreed to a contract with Orlando Pirates, many people were surprised when the Buccaneers announced Abdeslam Ouaddou as their new head coach. Here is why the deal with Mokwena fell through.
Details: According to Soccer Laduma, the main reason is that Mokwena wanted to bring in his own coaching staff, which was not welcomed by the club’s management. Despite this, the relationship between the coach and the club remains respectful.
Quote: "Mokwena wanted to bring in his own bench. That didn't work out. It is part of the reason for the change. There was interest in coach Mokwena from other clubs, and it's believed that Pirates wanted to give him that chance. They were also looking at other coaches who could suit their criteria, and they found one.”
Reminder: In recent weeks, there was information that Mokwena is a subject of interest for the recent CAF Champions League winners – FC Pyramids from Egypt.
