NEWS: SAFA president Danny Jordaan hopes PSL continues producing talented coaches who will shine in Africa following Rulani Mokwena’s appointment at Wydad

This follows the recent appointment of Rulani Mokwena by Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca as their new head coach.

Mokwena joins a growing list of South African coaches making their mark on the continent, including Fadlu Davids, who was recently announced as the new coach for Tanzanian powerhouse Simba SC.

Jordaan is optimistic that South Africa will continue to produce talented coaches capable of excelling across Africa. He believes these appointments are a testament to the quality and expertise of South African coaching, and he hopes to see more South African coaches taking up prominent roles on the continent in the future.

“We have seen in the last three years that the African continent is showing greater interest in the quality of South African cultures,” Jordaan said.

“Not just men, women also. We have lost two of our best women coaches now with Uganda.

“And we will have to produce more and we don’t hope the drain will continue. We must try and keep our coaches, give them the opportunity, and support them.

“But those things, out of our hands, that’s the competitive market in club football. And I’m sure that temptation will always be there as offers made and offers being considered by coaches.

“Whether we want to wish Rulani all the best, we hope for great success, he is going to a big club.

“And we can just hope that our coaches will do us proud on the African continent.”
