Did Rulani Promise Too Much to Wydad? | George Mokoena Podcast Clip

[@BandieG.S.R]

It's good for his career as a young Coach in Africa, usafunda okuningi ngoba African leagues are challenging. We want to see him in Europe one day.

[@sydneymaseda613]

In south africa when you are 35 yrs you are young even of you have more than ten years experience.

[@KokoNgcobo]

Eyokwenzani e Europe wazi bani lapho? Musa ukuphupha emini bafo. Europe kukhona Pep wakhona, the original one, manje yena wasuke wathi u Pep with no reason.

[@songezomagwevana8843]

Point of correction,Rulani did not leave Sundowns But he was fired, period

[@DesignThinkingWithLungile]

The Wydad situation is similar to the Kaizer Chiefs situation. These are big teams that are currently struggling, and its not easy to resuscitate such clubs. Its one thing to be a good coach that plays good football, and its another thing to be a coach that is able to turn things around. I think its a bit early in Rhulani's career for him to coach a struggling big club.

[@buyanifakudze3489]

@@DesignThinkingWithLungile I totally agree.... I just hope this doesn't dent his profile because he's talented. But you're right.... This might be a different type of challenge altogether and Wydad need something quick to believe. Even at Sundowns, I never felt Rhulani had it in him to take the team over the line in the CCL because he was rigid about style yet those competitions or situations need the flexibility to play ugly and get the trophy

[@DesignThinkingWithLungile]

@@buyanifakudze3489 100%. I also once mentioned the point you are raising about Rhulani being inflexible when it comes to style of play, and Sundowns fans attacked me. Transforming big struggling teams is more about changing the existing culture that caused the decline and requires maturity/experience. Unfortunately, I don't see him lasting long there.

[@buyanifakudze3489]

@@DesignThinkingWithLungile the fans who attacked you were showing double standards because they defended the rigid style but got frustrated when Sundowns were losing cup finals and not progressing in the CCL. In a big team, only trophies count...the style is an added bonus.

[@koena4lyf]

Rulani went from coaching a Ballon dor nominee goalkeeper to a goalkeeper that constantly makes errors and costs the team 3 points. He also has a illdisciplined defence which collects red cards and cannot protect leads. Rulani needs to fix his defence because wydad already scores a lot of goals.

[@sebatimafate9812]

Keep doing what you're doing brother, we're behind you all the way. Very informative channel.

[@EsihleHlengwa-f5p]

Thanks for talking about Rulhani's stint at Wydad Atletic Club I've always wanted to hear your opinion

[@AndyKhozas-SA]

Why us it a stint🙄

[@wellingtonsenkge4221]

Rulani need a life mentor, to me he is too full of himself,egocentric,pride which comes before the fall...his dedication to soccer undeniable,but lack of humility and arrogance,football will humble you

[@sifisojeremiah7480]

How do you know he doesn’t have one?

[@qews.podcast]

Wow 🤩 well said

[@ThabangSello-s1k]

😂😂 one reason I like him & despise Mzansi people like you, you're very weak & he's young & ambitious 😂😂

[@buyanifakudze3489]

Very interesting episode. Rhulani Mokoena, Morena Ramoreboli and Fadlu Davids are coming along nicely and to me, they have a good chance of achieving great things like Pitso Mosimane. Thabo Senong has somewhat gotten off the boil but he's also a coaching talent. SA has a lot to offer African football and for that alone I hope Rhulani does well. The Wydad job was tricky because it's a big team that's struggling so yaaa....its tough and I see why Coach Pitso always says style of play is important but the situation demands just results sometimes. The danger of these Pep disciples is that we forget that Pep never takes difficult jobs, ever! So as we copy him we need to be cognisant of the differences...a Wydad or a Chiefs would choose results and cups over nice build ups. Can Rhulani adapt to that? We'll see... But honestly I hope he does well and opens doors for other young coaches...

[@Sihawukelwe]

What do you mean by saying Pep never took a difficult job? According to your coaching, Barca, Bayern, and Man City isn't difficult? Which dictionary are you using?

[@buyanifakudze3489]

@Sihawukelwe I'm not sure what a dictionary has to do with this but here's what I meant.. The three were league winning teams with experienced players who were still competitive enough to win again. After the left both Bayern and Barca, they continued to win and when he joined City, they had won titles under Pellegrini and Mancini. Pep hasn't joined a team like Arsenal or Chelsea yet where there's been a long trophy draught, there's a new squad being built and fans are tense and impatient. Rhulani on the other hand has taken on Chippa, Pirates and now Wydad...all with the challenges I've mentioned. So my use of the term "easy" is mainly from the perspective of having a solid, experienced winning team versus building one. Not to say Pep doesn't do anything but I think you'll agree that Miguel Cardoso has an easier task than Nasreddine Nabi....

[@Sello-o4p]

Fladu David's is in the Caf Champions League. Friendly reminder

[@gorereel.r2780]

Fadlu is a million leagues above Rhulani

[@Ntokozomasogana]

Confederation not champions league mate, yanga are the only Tanzanian team in the CCL not simba

[@tsepopheko]

Caf Confederations Cup

[@kingnyovane8831]

Rhulani will turn things around at Wydad, when he coached Pirates his team was too inconsistent but as time went Pirates became better.

[@Sihawukelwe]

Then why was he sent to Chippa? Come on, don't condone mediocre

[@karaborobaya4424]

Rhulani wouldn’t have been expected to be a humble coach. He has a loud CAF profile. He’s from “Sundowns” and the Press know him well not let him lay-low

[@phuthimphuthi8458]

So in short you say rhulani wa phapha😂 We hear you man😂😂

[@professorique9762]

For the fact that we don't have a single South African coach in the Champions league it's very sad to be honest. Mangoba Mngqithi should have been given a full season

[@buyanifakudze3489]

@@professorique9762 my heart is still sore about that. Sundowns have always been more brave about giving SA coaches a chance, unlike Chiefs who have a foreigner "policy"....so I was stunned to see them get rid of the people who placed them on this pedestal when the ultimate reward of the Club World Cup is so close...

[@BethuelThabangMahlonoko]

Rulani was never tested with downs as it was an oiled machine. At Morocco he is starting from scratch as they need to adjust to his playing style of short passes and he will need certain players for that

[@Sihawukelwe]

And he failed dismally at Downs.. He managed 33%, which is a dismal failure ...stop condoning mediocrity...Lulani is a mediocre coach

[@tshifhiwatshifularo2025]

At times we need to put facts as they are. The 4:1 game that they lost

[@mncedisimalungana2297]

Bra, Rulani only wanted to coach a team that will play in the club world cup, he didn't care about anything else.

[@philipjallow9538]

Bro, I enjoy what u do, however leave the coach alone. Stuff like this happens in football

[@Sphamandla_Mkhulise]

It's stuff like this that he needs to discuss.

[@sibongisenikhumalo8198]

Leave him alone ngoba?

[@GodwillBaloyi]

Sundowns has a pool of players, they are like real madrid... a coach skills can't be tested on that team

[@ndimlo2906]

Rhulani never rammed the wild horse, he enjoyed the ride on the well trained stallion. Sundowns was already strong enough to function even without a coach, remember what he did at Pirates? He is not a strategist, he is a caretaker….i said it that he will be exposed when he left, but let’s not cut each other’s throat on a matter than has nothing to do with us

[@PatrickNkadimeng-z8c]

Sounds destructive criticism for brother Rhulani

[@KokoNgcobo]

But of course there's nothing much ku Rhulani, it's just that,lucky was on his side at sundowns and a lot of support and nemali eningi

[@TshitokisistocksMudzuli-rc4qp]

Same as Mangoba mngithi they talk but no action 😅😂 how can you loose to Magesi but you know all players with their weakness

[@lovalebakeng5809]

But coach Rulani story is different... he had to assemble team from screch .... like Coah Zwane at Kaizer chiefs..

[@gorereel.r2780]

I was never convinced about Rhulanis abilities as a coach. He needs a small club to lead and prove his worth imo

[@phuthimphuthi8458]

You not metioning rhulani found an already struggling wydad...i guess speaking negatively about people sell ls more and gives you more views

[@phakamanikhumalo]

Rulahni rushed to go and couch outside of South Africa he was supposed to remain in the country and couch local teams at least to improve his couching carrier.See now he is struggling,and those fans don't have a lot of patience.He may not finish the season mark my words

[@bongekilesibiya8736]

Is because no club in SA engamqasha ngoba he is himself no respect nd i club uvele ayenze eyakhe njenge Sundowns ubeseyenza eyakhe

[@dagreatgonerural6487]

What makes Rhulani to struggle in Morocco is religion 🤔 and racism 😢kphelaaaa nj, if waya kwi Team yalana emzansi uRhulan was gonna Shine

[@mpilompanza9101]

Rhulani will do well. All he needs is time. He has proven how good of a coach he is but the biggest challenge is to make sure he can adapt to the Moroccan playing style. Moroccan football isn't South African football.

[@amangileqwabaza5703]

Nah u ryt but also wrong.. u make it seem like Rhulani went around campaigning for support and hyped himself... but actually what put Rhulani in the spotlight is his winning record at Sundowns. Any coach who wins like that is bound to be followed by high expectations and hype every else he goes. Reviero has no hype coz we didn't know him and he didn't break any records where he came from. U cant compare Rhulani to even the Al Ahly coach for the similar reasons

[@Ericchamile]

Besides him loosing, brownies are racist, they don't have the patience for us blacks

[@Mosia-r2f]

Rulani is either delusional or overconfident. He is so out of touch with reality. I was so happy when he left my team last season. I was interestedin seeing him from far on how he behaves.If he was serious or its his nature to fool or bluff people who love amd support him let alone those who give opportunity to coach their team He'd call us betway fans and forever mentions that he is from the great Jomo Sono family.When he is not delivering results he'd use his age as an excuse or that Sundowns fans are not appreciating him😭✋🏾 When things are right are working right he'd say things like he he dont sleep or he used tactics from his friends from Europe coz no one knows tactics in SA or even how to counter low blocks 😭😭🤣 When he was speaking on a presser its always sounded like he was laughing inside. Laughing that we are actually believing the things he says😂😂coz for him he just liked listening to the sound of his voice and mimicking pep😭😭😭

[@mphilisintonyela]

Rulani has to come back home, Chippa United doesn't have a coach. Kopo has stepped down.

[@Sihawukelwe]

Remember, Chippa fired him, and Sundowns took him back. Not again

[@marvinmatsane7629]

I have watched the 4 :1 drumming of wydad, on that day i blamed him, they got a red card earlier and went on and scored, by then he should have locked the game park the bus let mailula play in the middle with ryle and so they could rotate the ball do a sup and put in Neang in front for long balls they would have won 1 :0 and to be honest Botola is not tuff

[@Sihawukelwe]

You can't park the bus there. That league is far better than our malaising and atrocious football we witness in South Africa. Our football is below par

[@phakamanikhumalo]

@@sfisob8814 If I'm not then it doesn't exist, I've seen it firsthand that all of you who started supporting Sundowns after 2006 have the same view and analogy called intitlement whereas some of us know what is Sundowns before some of you were born. Every coach that was succesful or failure we treated as a family and none of the spoke dirty about our team even after they left but not that son;'';f b;''tch called Rhulani who think like a bunch of you dummy smelling spoilt brats of yesterday who's desrespecting us.

[@Wandile276]

Rhulani always thinks he is bigger than the team and that he is that guy like pep,rhulani only has league and AFL and nothing domestic in SA,he must just humble himself and not be loud and be a bad image for the teams brand cause he back fires on you...he should learn from Jose riviero who is not in anyway tearing down the Orlando pirate image with antics
