- PSL coach of the year Rulani Mokwena has left his post at Mamelodi
Sundowns after his first full season in sole charge of the Brazilians.
However, he has spent 10 seasons in the technical team, winning the
African Football League and three league titles in the head coach
role.
Mokwena returned to Sundowns in 2020 as co-coach alongside Mangqoba
Ngqithi before he was promoted to head coach in October 2022, assisted
by Mngqithi and Steve Komphela.
The reason for Mokwena's departure is unknown but there are reports of
a fallout with sporting director Flemming Berg.
Lorenz Kohler says this is devastating.
Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.
Let's see how good he is when he doesn't inherit a well oiled machine
I'm scared that might be his downfall.
Let's see whether whoever takes over can maintain the standards Rulani has set. Before Ancelotti got a strong AC Milan squad he was struggling as a coach, but now everyone celebrates his brilliance. Same goes for Pep, people celebrate what he's able to do as a coach, his ideas & how they're translated on the field of play. What Rulani did with Sundowns was extraordinary, how his ideas were translated on to the pitch by the players & the gap he created between Sundowns & the rest of the league - RESPECT!!!
@@loyisomalobola687😂😂😂 what a joke! Finding comparison between Guardiola + Ancelotti = Rhulani😂😂😂 relax this is just Rhulani he will never coach Madrid
@@nhlanhlamahlangu2895 I think my argument flew over your head, but that's OK...
Its time for him to grow as a coach he needs to see this as an oppertunity
Give him Cape Town Spurs, i wanna see something
Give pep guardiola Brentford or Everton, I wanna see something
Or Kaizer Chiefs
@@lebogangakani7725 pep took over a Barce and sold all the star players,to start youth players🤦🏽♂️
@@kgosimangtaje3197 its still barcelona not everton. Be consistent with your judgement
@@Thatsong-fr9nq😂😂😂 these people they are making us laugh how can you even compare the latter? 😂😂😂
The best assistant coach is gone please give Mr Manqoba a chance
I'm an orlando pirates fan, this its a huge mistake....yes we can say rhulani had all the resources or ingredients to get the job done but if you don't have a proper chef to cook you a meal it's a problem, look at PSG which had the best squad this season but didn't win the champions league...and also chelsea couldn't win the English premiere league......how long did it take Mancity to win the champions league💁♂️....we need to stop saying his benefitting from pisto's blueprint...because this guy was breaking record's every seasons in terms of points, and almost being invincible...by the way I don't remember pisto reaching such milestones at sundowns....all I'm saying let's give respect where it's due

As Sundowns supporter, sacking Rhulani shows our ambition, no one is bigger than the team, and his tactics were to boring and unbearable and too negative against competitive oppositions, it was hard to watch sundowns without falling asleep
Whaaaw I wonder what sundowns will be without this coach nextseason
You are enjoying sundowns loosing against you every cup final😂 , but on a serious note he was employed for a champions league and every trophy on offer he failed unfortunately
@@lebogangakani7725 I agree with you totally. People forget that Sundowns were negatively impacted by Afcon. Towards the end of the season their players were visible suffering from fatigue & this affected their performance - should we blame Rulani for how he managed the situation, definitely. He had a big squad & it was meant for such situations, but one has to wonder what could've been had this team not gone to Afcon & he kept the players fit. Let's all not forget how he dominated the North African teams in the earlier tournament his team deservedly won. Plus these were things he was going to handle better going forward. I truly believe Rulani is special & was/is probably going to have a significant impact on not just our football but how we from henceforth look at football. I just hope we don't lose him to another league...
How come a coach doesn't have input in who comes and goes at the football club but when things are not going well they are the first to be blamed. When it comes to not winning a domestic treble players also got to take responsibility, it's not Rhulani who missed penalties against Chaine in the MTN 8 final ,it's not Rhulani who's penalty was saved by Chaine in the Nedbank cup final it's the players and when it comes to CAF nobody wins but Al Ahly it's heritage somethings will never change in football, what a job he did for a young coach fantastic ❤.
When you go to work, do you implement your own ideologies? You follow standard operating procedure (S.O.P) is called ability to follow instructions. A coach can not be allowed to sign his players *only* because some players don't fit the club model whether it's finances or style
A coach does have an input but doesn't have the final say. Getting new players and releasing old ones has to make performance and financial sense. How do you explain having Zungu(high maintenance and injury prone) and Esquivel(expensive) and not winning the league? One of the goals was for the technical director was to align development teams with the senior team. Rhulani struggled to play players from the development though they've been there for almost 2 seasons. Mbatha, Mofokeng and Mbatha were instant sensations in their first season with Pirates whilst we have youngsters in the stands. And how do you lose 2 finals to the same team? On tactical aspect, Rhulani is too rigid in his approach. He doesn't allow variation especially when faced with a low block. i think that's where the technical director had a problem with the style of play. Rhulani is good but he could be far better if he allows people to advise him. He had nothing to lose. He still had a bulk of quality players to choose from. His arrogance is his downfall.
@@khathutshelomatlou9712 I don't know what you mean but Sundowns won the league. When it comes to development players playing in the first team ,they have to work their way to playing in the first team ,no player will player just because they young, they have to play because they good enough and compete for their positions just like the rest of the players and Sundowns is probably the toughest team to breakthrough in because they sign quality players every season. When you fire a coach because they didn't win a cup then you do not know football because a Cup is different from the league anyone can win it and when you get to 2 finals in your first full season you probably going to win it the next season. Look at Pep Guardiola 9 years at Man City but one Champions League its tough. In my opinion judging a manager by not winning a cup is an unfair judgement. I believe whoever Sundowns is going to get is going to be a downgrade.
@@siyamooi4530 but winning the league wasn't his only mandate. Winning the league is standard at Downs. Young players are supposed to be given a chance to fight for a place. There are games where Mabena could've easily made the 1st eleven, especially after securing the league, but instead he went on wanting to dominate. A good 5-7 games he could've easily inducted the young players or even tried other tactics.
@@siyamooi4530 He had a hand in letting two technical staff members, co _coach, development coaches, to go
I promise Manqoba won't win the league 2024_2025.
The favoritism will end
He is running away because of tensions within the organisation. He is still got a lot to learn because every team has got these type of people
Even Pitso left cause of that ..I guess he also has a lot to learn
If Rulani leaves and Manqoba or Pitso doesn’t take over, we are back to the Stoichkov and Neeskens error, will be trophyless for seasons to come
You are right, they must hire pitso or gavin not foreign coaches
Stoichkov was a brilliant coach and Sundowns was playing some of the best football they ever played
@@allhaildrewzavic2838 what did he win?
True@@Thatsong-fr9nq
Sundowns was on a foundation fase then to be the team we now know
As a Pirates fan, I feel like Rhulani is the best coach in SA history. Hope he goes to greater heights.
He never won a cup final against pierats, he promised a second star he never delivered so its been long over due , with such a squad we expected him to atleast win a treble , Ruud Krol did it , Riviera now in his second season he has delivered 4 cups so Rulani is not such a good coach
Sundowns failed to appreciate rulani , the guy has done very well for them we can complain about mtn 8 and nedbank while he wins a lot of money in africa
He's rich enough to go for a gd sabbatical with his family and bond nicely forget about this nonsense
😢 this will also affect our national team performances😢 they are making a big mistake
Lol
Rulani is not sundowns 😅
How will it affect the national team? And who is making a big mistake? School me here
Fact
@@scelo-eo1lm Sundowns made a big mistake by allowing their Sporting Director to interfere with the coach, The National team is using almost 7 players from Sundowns and if the performances of Sundowns players drop it will massively affect the national team...
Arrogant as he seemed at times, he was on an upward trajectory as a young ambitious Coach.
This is sad and unwarranted decision!
Pirates is killing Sundowns in all corners
Sundowns management made a good decision to fire Rulani.his coaching tactics were good for DSTV premier league not for local domestic cup.Sundowns should take 3 titles in a season with dat squad.he had chance to win a second star for Sundowns in 2 season but he failed to reach one CAF final. Pisto use to win 3 titles in a season that means Rulani is lacking experience to approach local domestic cup, (Nedbank,MTN8,Carling black label).
Coach of the Season Rivero
He cant excel as black man and being young. I wouldn't be suprised if Flemming was also amongst the reason Pitso left. This marks the decline of Sundowns dominance.
Give him Royal am I want to see how good coach he is.
😂😂😂😂he talk too much
Yes I agree. Then we will see who he really is. 🤣🤣🤣
THEY ARE NOT BEING FAIR SOMEHOW BUT WE DONT KNOW THE INSIDE CHALLENGES, HE REALLY WORKED HARD FOR THIS TEAM HE CHANGE THE FOOTBALL WE SAW GOOD SKILLES HE REALLY TRANSFORMED THE PLAYERS TO HIGH LEVEL
YES THEY WON MANY BUT DIDN'T GET MUCH TROPHIES NEEDED I THINK
PERSONALLY I DIDN'T LIKE HIM BCZ OF HIS CHARACTER, THE PRIDE ,ARROGANCE, AND DISRESPECT HE HAD AND BCZ IM NOT A SUNDOWNS SUPPOTER😂
BUT HE REALLY DID HIS BEST AND SHOULD BE APPRECIATED
Lord Lorenz🙏🏼🙌❤
Saleng has been a thorn in flesh of Sundowns, firstly he ended Mnqithi contract as head coach , now he separated Mokwena n Sundowns
He even made Jali to run away` as if that is enough, there came Mofokeng on Zungu
Stop lying unprovoke .after supersport beat 2-0, drew with Amazulu , drew with Chippa then re shuffle coaching dept...why are you lying bcos sundowns played 5 games without a win then they came with plan B.
I heard about this removal many months ago. I'm not surprised about the departure of sundowns it was stated clearly that if he doesn't win the CAF championship, he will exit
I m a kaizer chiefs fan but this really pains me rulani is the second best coach behind pitso in Africa rulani won the league with the most amount of points in the psl he knows what he is doing this technical director guy thinks his the coach you can't don't to sign someone like mabasa to replace shalulile ,lorch and mojela the only reason that lorch was signed is because rulani forced transfer that technical director guy wants Adams to replace Zwane really the January foreign signings were all that guy signings rulani did not want Bongani Zungu to leave sundown because of the amount of positions he plays and the quality he has what rulani is doing leaving sundowns is good the chairman of sundowns is high on something he should have fired that technical director the coach is the one who is in charge of identifying the player he wants in the team to help them win trophies sundowns will regret this decision.
Rhulani sucked at player management and played many players out of position, his tactics wer a bore to watch and preferred position over scoring goals, to negative when approaching strong opponents, played defensively and parked the bus....
@@khanyanqundwana7526let's appreciate each other guys.
Now lets really see who is Coach Rulani, out of SUN DOWNS.
Heart breaking 💔 what's happening in our team
Its a real pity his hard work has been lees appreciated and the fact that sporting director has powers to decide which players to be recruited or not its a terrible sign of interference from high up I just hope Sundowns management dont live to regret this decision because soon enough cracks from the top have a funny way of affecting and impacting the whole team's perfomance!
So you think he must be allowed to sign a Mbappe 😂😂😂
HE MUST NOT COME BACK
I blame Orlando Pirates, they're closing in on Downs(trophy-wise). If he had stayed on their winning margin in the league would've been reduced if not Pirates winning the league outright. I pray Pirates management learns from Sundowns to never have too many people above the coach and give him more responsibility without any interference from managers.
Lorenz i hope u rite about this dawg. You one of the few people who know this as a fact.
The favoritism will end in the team , look how he treated Gaston Sirino , he even went as far as selling Thabiso Kutumela .
He has no respect for supporters .
Coach Rhulani was given all the resources and he did not meet the targets , like any big club in the world he should leave , good decision by Sundowns
It's sad news, what is it that they didn't achieve Rulani and Mngoba?
Sun is the most decorated club. What kind of methology was used to let go a winning Coach. Being a Coach comes with vast great responsibility and when results come forth the confidence shots high nerve wrecking adrenaline and the more you dream of more success, having sleepless nights hence you allowed to question and air your views regarding your players, who should go and who shouldn't. You organise and plan it's football. You employ stratages and technicalities depending on your players' capabilities. The technical team comes in to support, advice and not blinkers becoz they're the Technical department hence partiality should prevail. Coaches sleep, eat and scrutinise each and every play. The exodus of staff leaving Sundowns says silently what behind the sences. Smoke without fire and hopefully not for personal interest. Truly one cannot let go a winning Coach, players like Zungu and Sirino with all that vast experience. Funny enough having mentioned Zungu. The Technical department got him when he was struggling nurtured him hence on a pay roll, recovered well started showing what he is made of. Winning games, those lengthy defence splitting passes that send any opposition defence in six and sevens in total confusion, you let go. Talk of Sirino. Truly what's the logic and you expect a Coach of Rulani's calibre not to question that. The man has swallowed the sweet juice of success with the players now you want to account for the players on his behave, no it doesn't work like that. Let him choose his army and let him command and advise him seat down with him listen, transparence. Yes indeed l sow it coming. It's sad. I love sports in general and understand what the coaches and players go through to win any given tournament or Cup. There are sleepless nights, the Technical personal do sleep, not the Coaches and players. I would Personal like to thank Jingles, Mnqoba and Rulani you build a Club in South Africa called Sundowns that become the Lion of South African football hence of International standards. The roaring vibrated beyond the borders of African to the World of football at a broader spectrum. Hats off gentlemen.
If rhulani goes give manqoba the coaching job and let sundowns play the piano and shoe shine dont bring that guy from Al ahly.
This is the Sundowns downfall.
Lets see if how they will win the league if they win the league.
They think what Rhulani has achieved is easy, let us see 👀 🤔
Also the facial expression when they won (in the clip) was giving the hint.
This are herar-says the team would have issued a statement already
The way He was behaving , I thought He was a shareholder at Sundowns 😂😂,, his attitude towards other clubs match officials, let's see who wants to work with him
You don't understand the love of Football, he was passionate and effortless
Anybody njhe can just stroll freely to Sundowns and scoop many trophies.......Sundowns has more than 25 outstanding stars......
Rulani Mokwena must coach the national team 👏👏
Are you crazy chief?
Former Chippa united Loanee😂😂😂😂😂
M a kaizer fun but nt happy abt Rhulani's departure
This boy wasn’t that bad in his coaching sit, & president motsepe , got it wrong to release this Laaity, I doubted sundowns will be like this next coming season, anyway I don’t take decisions⭐️👌🔥☠️
Biggest mistake ever.... this will certainly affect those players and I doubt they will win anything this season.... what a blow... that director will sink sundows single handedly... Rhulani had a bond with his players and they always go out fighting for him... the guys breaks records and this is how u treat him... an he was going to win u champion Legue for u... North Africa's will come take him and win big things
The sport director is evil I saw that guy talking to Tim sukazi while Rhulani was fighting with the enemy.... he wants to give the job to his friends from Uerope to mass things up for us... 😡 football will never to be same again
They must do so,Rulani had enough resources in many,players and technical team but why must we celebrate winning the lig only.Current Sundowns as a coach you need to win the lig and at least Nedbank cup or MTN 8 in addition or bring CAF CL
What mistake? What was your average percentage of your matric results if any?
@@siyathembasiazmatshaya7074❤
There is mo mistake here, sundowns is not a one man team
@@NjabuloMtimande-ib8cy clearly u don't know football we live to see the impact this will have on sundows players
It's very good we want to see him to other clubs where there's no top players like Sundown where he rated himself as a top coach cos we new him failed at Pirates & Chippa
Unfortunately he's a Top Coach according his achievements, only Top 10 African teams might be heading to like fus Rabat in Morocco 🇲🇦
Big mistake made by sundown s
Today is a goodday. Manqoba must come back
Manqoba must come back
Joseph Zinbeur on the way😂
😂
2 trophies out of 5 with all that money spend is a fail. Manqoba must come back. I've been saying
Good...we just want CAFCL at Downs and he hasn't delivered unfortunately
And his Chameleon tactics were boring and unbearable, it was hard to watch sundowns without falling asleep
PepMokoniola😢
Rulani is the best
That boy is not a good coach the squad was
My journalist lorenzo kohler
They should have given him a chance, like after 10 match at psl, then they that's where they could take a decesion as to they take him or out
I don't think it has anything to do with the league, more like failure to do well in Africa. The owner's ambition was to dethrone Al Hahly and be the best club side in the continent.
I knew his jig was up when he lost to Pirates, reminiscent of what had transpired in the Manqoba demotion seasons ago.
I wonder who will be taking the vacant seat.. better yet where will Rulani go?
Guys ! This flemingberg guy destroyed chelsea the same way that he is doing at sundowns.the coach is the one who decides who to buy. The scouting doesnt force a player to the coach.this is the beginning of the fall of sundowns mr Motsepe junior please take care before its too late flemingberg failed at chelsea its not a secret.
Pirates will finally win the league
Pitso is coming ❤
I don't see that happening, knowing the court fights between Pitso and Motsepe family.
@@sanelisetafa3498 I thought it's over eish
Rhulani was supposed to be given a last two seasons. Pitso was given 5 seasons before he became best coach in africa.
He must go to Magesi
I want Malema at sundowns😂
Flemming Berg is the problem at Mamelodi Sundowns. He is trying by all means to Push Rhulani out, sources say he already has a European coach in line to replace Rhulani. Why is he trying to dictate signings and players that should be signed when he is not the coach!?
Get on with times, the SD is in charge that's how top clubs all over the world operate, no coach decides signings at Real Madrid and likes..because coaches come n go..take your emotions and follow Rulani wherever he's going.
Coaches come and go just like every other person, it's a natural phenomenon, good riddance
Sporting Director signs the players
Rhulani has reached the ceiling.
Name those "sources".
M pirates but that is a big loss for sundowns
That's a blow!!!!!
Bye Bye Pep guordiola lets see if Rulani mokwena if he can make it on his own because he was full of himself the attitude on and of the field of rulani leaves a lot to be desired 🤣🤣🤣hes got that nonsense attitude of joburg let us see where will he survive with that attitude
He must go
This white guy is paving space for European coches
He is too talkative, full of himself
You are just jealousy brother
Where is Rulani Mokoena going?
He is going nowhere, the honeymoon is over
Rhulani is overrated and he need to start to small teams to gain experience
At least better Sundowns was leaking good strike in front like the one we use to have with Pitso CBD the one combination which worked very well the best combination if Sundowns can able to build that again with Rulani that was not going to happen Sirino is the best player Rulani was Supposed to build him and use him but he decided to destroy him not Sirino is the best of the best but because of leak of game time same with Maema
He signed players to spite Ksizer Chiefs.
I heard that he's going to Kaizer"nwee nwee"chiefs😂
Pitso is coming back as a coach of Mamelodi Sundowns
Pitso and Percy Tau. On their way
Kaizer Chiefs should terminate this Nabi's contract and benefit from Sundowns or Flemming' mistake coz hate or love him Rhulani is good
Christmas is over ,masandawana.Embrace yourself for thorough hiding.The season ahead will be characterised by dry spell.Askiss.
Coach of the year 😂😂😂 our safa to elect this failure
Im a SUNDOWNS supoorter hey Coaches come and go,trust me whoever will come will do well with the players and resources we have,Rulani should have won us a lig and 1 cup or big us CAF CL last season or season before
I am totally agree with you, remember he went to pirate for short time, he did not achieve anything until he come back to Sundowns, indeed whoever come will do well with the group of players they have.
How many seasons did Pitso have in sundowns Rhulani was supposed to be given a last three seasons then judge him after
@@xolanimsimango591Pitso wrote a Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P) for Sundowns! He took them from position 8 on the league to African elites.
@@xolanimsimango591 we cannot compare Rulani and Pitso,Rulani has been part of Sundowns technical structure long way back,Pitso was fresh and new with everything at Sundowns,the players Pitso had then compared to what Rulani is having there is a big difference Brother.
As a Die Hard and Day One Mamelodi Sundowns fan 👆, I'm really sad about Rhulani leaving but i know we can maintain our glory and dominance by bringing in Molefe Ntseki to lead the team. Bring in Ntseki ball 🙏🏾
No mistake here,it's just that you were used to him.32 years supporting SUNDOWNS,to me he did nt do enough looking at players we have.i can't settle with two ligs only for two seasons.Rulani all he knew was playing a beautiful football when we need a cup.can you tell me why Sirino was not getting enough game time but he knows when to deliver?
Give Sirino two games in a row,he will score or assist
No we don't need him, We have our own in Jerry Tshabalala and Barnes Bapela as part of the technical team
I said it last season lmao 😂
😂😂🏴☠️ 🏴☠️🏴☠️🇸🇿🇸🇿
Eh eh eh Jose Mourino😅
He must go to Magesi
