Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has revealed what it took to bring back prodigal son Rulani Mokwena to the club, writes Kgopotso Makhubu.

Mokwena left the club in 2017 to take an assistant coaching role at Orlando Pirates under Micho Sredojevic. He worked two years under Micho before the Serbian coach resigned and left him in charge.

His stay at the helm of the Buccaneers was short-lived, only lasting four months before going to Chippa United

“When he went to Pirates, I was not happy, but I gave him my blessings, he also went to Chippa, and I spoke to him. He is a good friend and a colleague, sometimes I feel like he is my younger brother,” Pitso Mosimane told Prime Sports With Mahlatse recently.

Mokwena’s time at Chippa did not last longer than expected as he also parted ways with the team within a short period of time. 

“When things did not work at Chippa, I told him ‘let’s regroup and come here at Sundowns’. Although it was not easy to bring him back to Sundowns I pleaded and begged people for him to come back and there was so much resistance. I know what he has, he is top-notch and unbelievable,” added the former Al Ahly head coach.

The coach has now won a double treble at the club and won back-to-back league titles. He will look to continue adding to their trophy cabinet heading into the new season.
