Mamelodi Sundowns and coach Rhulani Mokwena are parting ways due to a breakdown in their working relationship. Mokwena, who was recently voted DStv Premiership coach of the month, has been missing since the team returned for pre-season on Monday. The split reportedly stems from tensions between Mokwena and sporting director Flemming Berg, which escalated after the team released key players without making new signings ahead of their pre-season camp in Austria.
Sundowns reveals that,they remains committed to developing South African coaches and players. Coach Manqoba Mngqithi and the Technical Team will take charge of training and preparation for the upcoming season. The club is focused on competing in all upcoming competitions, including the historic FIFA Club World Cup 2025, where they will represent the African Continent alongside three other teams.
