Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club have pulled out all the stops to land their preferred head coaching candidate Rulani Mokwena!
Rulani Mokwena will be flying the South African flag in Morocco after being named as Wydad Athletic Club’s new head coach.
Mokwena left Mamelodi Sundowns in a rather surprise move following the completion of last season.
According to reports, Mokwena and Sporting Director Flemming Berg were not seeing eye-to-eye, prompting the former Pirates coach to leave the club.
Less than two weeks after his Mamelodi Sundowns departure, Rulani Mokwena is back in the hot-seat! This time, at three-time CAF Champions League champions Wydad!
Rulani Mokwena’s Wydad salary revealed?
According to reports, Mokwena is set to earn a base salary of almost R400 000 however, with bonuses he could be walking away with over R500 000 per month.
“Rulani Mokwena reportedly put in an expectation of $40 000 (R724 000) per month, while the club had proposed less than $30 000 (R543 000) per month,” a Soccer Laduma report citing Al Akhbar read.
“It is understood that Wydad AC president Hicham Ait Menna eventually broke down Mokwena’s potential $30 000 agreement as a $22 000 salary (R398 000) per month, plus grants and bonuses.”
“It was mutually decided to separate and I didn’t want to leave. My hand was forced. There are a lot of things but I can’t talk about [it] because I’ve signed a confidentiality clause that prohibits me speaking about some of the details. There are things I can’t disclose because if I do, I’d get into a lot of trouble,” Rulani Mokwena said in an emotional interview with Robert Marawa regarding his Mamelodi Sundowns exit.
Mokwena’s departure marked the end of a dynamic chapter at the Brazilians, however Steve Komphela has since returned as an assistant coach while Manqoba Mngqithi looks likely to remain part of the coaching staff for next season.
