Rumours are swirling around Orlando Pirates and the potential return of Rulani Mokwena. Since leaving Wydad Casablanca, Mokwena, a highly sought-after young coach, has been linked with a move back to familiar territory. But will he return to coach the Buccaneers?
While Pyramids FC, recent CAF Champions League winners, have also expressed interest in Mokwena, sources within Orlando Pirates suggest the club hasn't given up on securing his services. A club insider claims a top official is in direct talks with Mokwena, handling the delicate negotiations personally.
"The interest is definitely there," the insider revealed, "but no one, not even his agent, is talking about this move. Apparently, only one person at Pirates is the one who is talking to the coach. If the deal happens, it will be between that person and the coach. At the moment, it's believed that it's a sensitive issue that no one else at the club will know the result of."
Another insider, familiar with the club's recruitment plans, expects an announcement before the team's pre-season training camp in the first week of July.
"Of course, the coach will be available by the time the players return for pre-season," the insider stated. "All is in order, but only one person can do that, and everyone is waiting for him to announce the coach at the right time... So it's just around the corner."
The coming weeks are crucial. Will Orlando Pirates successfully lure Rulani Mokwena back to South Africa? Will the "sensitive issue" be resolved in time for pre-season? Stay tuned to newsrpt.com for updates as this story develops.
