Orlando Pirates legend Moeneeb Josephs shouldn’t be eager on having Rulani Mokwena again on the membership.
The 38-year-old coach is likely one of the candidates to switch Jose Riveiro, who introduced his shock departure from Orlando Pirates on the finish of the season. Mokwena has had a stint with the Buccaneers however his keep was short-lived because of poor outcomes.
Talking on Soccerbeat podcast, the previous Bafana Bafana keeper felt Rulani was not the proper match for Orlando Pirates.
“If we’re desirous to deliver him again to Orlando Pirates, pretty much as good a coach as he’s, why would we placed on outdated footwear once more? Why would you return once more?” Josephs requested.
“From what I can keep in mind, when he was with us, there have been a complete lot of points, there have been tantrums, our supporters weren’t too completely happy as properly.
“It was boiling there with him. For me, he left a bitter style in my mouth when he left Orlando Pirates.”
Moeneeb feels Rulani will change the tradition at Orlando Pirates
Josephs stated, though he respects Mokwena as a coach, he felt he may destabilise the nice basis Riveiro laid on the membership.
“At Orlando Pirates, we’ve obtained this tradition that coach Jose has introduced. We don’t want somebody to come back and alter that tradition. We’d like somebody so as to add to that tradition.
“I like him as a coach, however I perceive that there’s plenty of ego concerned, and we don’t want that in the mean time.”
Rulani becoming a member of Orlando Pirates is probably going on condition that the 38-year-old coach introduced his departure from Wydad Casablanca. Having spent only one season in Morocco, Mokwena has struggled to get the staff again to the highest.
