Former Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena has returned to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sundowns confirmed on their official website that Mokwena, is expected to re-join the Chloorkop side in the same capacity of assistant coach having parted ways with the Club back in 2017 to join arch rivals, Orlando Pirates.

Mokwena will travel to Rustenburg to join the Brazilians in camp as soon as he has received the results for his COVID-19 test.

If everything goes according to plan, he will join the team by the end of this week.

The experienced Mokwena spent more than 3 years with Sundowns before embarking on a journey to coach some of the most competitive sides in the PSL.

He also took the time to capacitate himself by travelling to Europe to study at the current EPL Champions, Liverpool.

The President of Mamelodi Sundowns, Dr. Patrice Motsepe welcomed Mokwena back home to the Mamelodi Sundowns family as the Club looks to reinforce the Technical team as they continue to aspire to dominate in the CAF Champions League to earn the 2nd star for the Club and beyond.

Mokwena was recently coach for Chippa United after leaving Orlando Pirates.
