Mokwena’s Record and Experience

Mokwena’s extensive experience and impressive track record in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) make him a leading candidate for the senior coaching position at Kaizer Chiefs. He has experience with successful co-coaching stints, having previously worked alongside Manqoba Mngqithi at The Brazilians before taking over as their head coach.

Uncertainty at Sundowns

Reports from Unplayable suggest that Mokwena’s future at Sundowns remains uncertain. Despite his contract renewal being up for negotiation, management appears hesitant to put pen to paper. Disagreements over proposed technical changes have cast doubt on Mokwena’s continued tenure at Chloorkop.

The Possibility of Mokwena Joining Kaizer Chiefs

If Mokwena leaves Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs’ management would consider offering him the senior coaching role alongside Arthur Zwane. The potential appointment of Mokwena at Kaizer Chiefs would undoubtedly be a significant and strategic move. His experience, coupled with Zwane’s local knowledge, could prove to be a winning combination for the team as they aim to compete with the PSL’s elite.

Wider Implications for the PSL

This potential shift in the coaching landscape would have wider implications for the PSL, with other clubs likely to take notice. It would be a bold statement to lure away one of Sundowns’ top talents and could signal the start of a new era of talent exchange and competition among South Africa’s footballing powerhouses.

The uncertainty surrounding Rhulani Mokwena’s future at Mamelodi Sundowns has opened up an intriguing possibility for Kaizer Chiefs. As they seek to elevate their coaching staff and strengthen their team, the potential addition of Mokwena could have a significant impact on the fortunes of both clubs. It remains to be seen how this coaching saga will play out, but fans are eagerly waiting for the outcome.
