Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena says he will deliver the CAF Champions League trophy to Pretoria during his career.
Mokwena has a chance this season, but first, Sundowns must overcome a 1-0 deficit in the second-leg semi-final against the defensively-strong Esperance on Friday, 26 April 2024.
Rhulani Mokwena asks for time
Mokwena speaks to the media ahead of the Esperance match in the tweet below:
Speaking to iDiski Times, Mokwena, who amazed fans with his fashion sense, said that previous coach Pitso Mosimane took eight years to win the title, but he will not take that long.
Mokwena said:
“I’m 100% sure it’s going to happen. Is it going to be easy? No, it’s not going to be easy. Is it going to be win, win, win all the time? No, it’s not. Is it going to be pretty football and play well all the time? No, it’s not going to be pretty football all the time – but we will get there.”
Fans back Mokwena to deliver continental success
Local football fans took to social media to support Mokwena as they believe the coach can succeed in the CAF Champions League.
Sinazo Siyamthanda backs the Downs:
“I’m a Khosi fan, good luck bafethu. Bring it home.”
Thabiso Lebeko sasy Mokwena will win it:
“This is your year coach. You will definitely win it. My heart is still bitter because we didn’t give you enough chance at Pirates.”
Greezy Smuggie thinks Mokwena has conceded defeat:
“He has already made peace with the fact that he’s already out of the Champions League.”
SåļīWă Jř makes a prediction:
“Sundowns is going to the final #hatersgunnahate.”
Jack Sentu Silwana is confident:
“You gonna win it now. I have faith in my coach.”
Former Mamelodi Sundowns skipper is not a fan of Thembinkosi Lorch
As reported by Briefly News, former Mamelodi Sundowns skipper Hlompho Kekena says forward Thembinkosi Lorch needs more confidence in front of goal.
Kekana said Lorch has failed to deliver since his big-money move to Sundowns from Orlando Pirates in January 2024.
