Rulani Mokwena joined Wydad Athletic club from Mamelodi Sundowns, promising to help the team get back to the top after their sixth-place finish in the 2023/24 edition.
Currently, the Red Castle are out of the race to win the Botola Pro league, owing to RS Berkane's good run, but they can still finish second on the table and qualify for the Caf Champions League for the 2025/26 campaign.
Nevertheless, the team will finish without a trophy but the improvement has been evident. Mokwena's agent confirmed his client is leaving at the end of the season. Have a look at what the football fans in Mzansi said.
Orlando Pirates are waiting for Mokwena
The team brought in 20 new players, they had finished 6th before he came in. Rulani is a coach, not a magician. He did well – Katleho Ratona
This guy needs to start small his not at a level where he can coach big team, he was working with experienced coaches at Sundowns that's why he thought he was the best, you all gave him credit like he was doing it alone, he must come back home start afresh before he ruins his name – Ziggi Mxo Mkwanazi
This is a calculated move; Orlando Pirates are waiting for Rhulani Mokwena – Tshidiso Matshidi
They demand a lot in a short space of time. Come back home, Leadership; you tried – Mashudu Shoni Ramalira
Pitso Mosimane won everything over there but was still criticized. The coaches are not the problem in these teams – Andile Mncotshe Skei
Mokwena won't face his mentor Guardiola at the Fifa Club World Cup
Mokwena must come back home, they've abused him enough there. Orlando Pirates need a coach – Sifiso Hadebe
Rulan Mokwena is not a good coach, and most coaches' careers need a bit of luck to succeed – Prosper Mutembo
This means he won't go to the 2025 Club World Cup to face his mentor Pep Guardiola; hard luck on him. But Kaizer Chiefs can benefit; Mokwena is still young and ambitious; he can turn things around at Naturena – Mzukulu KaMzilikazi Khumalo
The decision has nothing to do with his coaching but the club that is not paying, and it has been months now – Mondeli Jijana
It's their loss; Mokwena took them from position six to fighting for position two; he did very well in his first season – Sakhile Bright Fuzeh
