Rulani Mokwena set to “depart” from Mamelodi Sundowns - POWER ...

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach, Rulani Mokwena, is reportedly set to leave the PSL champions amidst a backdrop of internal conflicts.

According to SABC Sport, Mokwena’s departure is linked to a strained relationship with the club’s sporting director, Flemming Berg.

Mokwena, who recently signed a contract extension with Sundowns until 2027, has been instrumental in the club’s recent successes, including an impressive run in the CAF Champions League and winning the DStv Premiership since taking over as head coach in October 2022. However, despite this success, internal tensions have reached a tipping point.

The reported conflict with Berg, who oversees the club’s sporting strategies, appears to be a significant factor in Mokwena’s anticipated exit. Details of the dispute have not been made public, but the situation has escalated to a point where a resolution seems unlikely, prompting Mokwena to consider his future away from Chloorkop.

Mamelodi Sundowns’ management has not yet issued an official statement regarding Mokwena’s status, but the potential departure of such a key figure raises questions about the club’s future direction.

The timing of this development is particularly crucial as Sundowns prepare for the upcoming season, with fans and analysts keenly watching how the club navigates this unexpected challenge.

For Mokwena, this situation presents both a professional setback and an opportunity to explore new ventures. His coaching prowess and recent achievements make him a highly sought-after figure in football circles, suggesting that his career trajectory, despite this hiccup, remains on an upward path.
