Rulani Mokwena breaks his silence a few hours after Mamelodi Sundowns confirmed his departure.

The club returned for 2024/2025 pre-season without the club’s head coach, Rulani Mokwena, after he had a fallout with the club’s Sporting Director, Flemming Berg.

This led to the two parties partying ways, as confirmed by the club on Wednesday, the 03rd of July 2024.

“Mamelodi Sundowns and Rhulani Mokwena amicably concluded an agreement bringing to an end Rhulani Mokwena’s employment as Head Coach,” the club’s statement stated.

“Sundowns wishes to express its gratitude to Rhulani Mokwena for  his contribution to the successes and achievements of the Club during his tenure as Head Coach.

Rhulani Mokwena will forever be part of the Mamelodi Sundowns family, and the club wishes him all of the very best with his future endeavours. The decision of Mamelodi Sundowns was taken by the Board taking into account the objectives and expectations of the Club and was not influenced or based on the recommendation of any individual associated with the Club,” the statement concluded.

Hours after the club announced his departure, the 37-year-old tactician revealed that he was forced to leave the club in an interview with Robert Marawa on Robert Marawa’s Worldwide Sports Show.

“I didn’t want to leave, I have to make that clear. My hand was forced,” the tactician said on the show.

He went on to reveal that he has signed a confidentiality agreement, stopping him from talking about what led to him leaving Masandawana.
