Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena’s agent Steve Kapeluschnik has replied to doubts over the young coach’s future that emerged after the membership did not reach the CAF Champions League closing once once more.
Sundowns hang been struggling to reach the CAF Champions League closing since they obtained the trophy for the first time under worn coach Pitso Mosimane in the 2015/16 season.

Alternatively, the Tshwane giants were knocked out 2-0 on aggregate after shedding both legs 1-0, and there were ideas that Mokwena’s job would be under threat, because the membership has big ambitions of conquering the continent.
The high requirements at Sundowns were such that after they were thrashed 3-0 by Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 semi-finals 2d leg and moreover by the same scoreline on aggregate in October 2022, they restructured the technical team.
Mokwena became sole head coach after previously serving as co-coach alongside Manqoba Mngqithi, who used to be demoted to senior coach.
After the defeat to Esperance, there were quiz marks posed on whether or not Mokwena is quiet moral for the membership as a head coach.
Now, his agent Kapeluschnik, speaking completely to KickOff, says he had absolute self belief in his ideas that the 37-yr-worn would proceed, as he has been “extra special” for The Brazilians.
” these objects happen in football and I deem that Rulani has been extra special and inconceivable this season. He smashed every single document. Okay, they did not derive to the closing of the Champions League. These objects happen, but he is been fully extra special surely,” Kapeluschnik commented.
“I originate not deem there might be been a coach in the two decades that I have been enthusiastic (in football) that has attained the extent of success that he is made, I am gratified,” he added.
