Working at Orlando Pirates with Zinnbauer was going to be hard - Mokwena

The 35-year-old is in the final three months of his contract with the Sea Robbers and it remains to be seen if he will return to Mayfair in future

Rhulani Mokwena has explained how his move from Orlando Pirates to Chippa United came about.

The Soweto-born mentor admitted the arrival of Josef Zinnbauer coupled with things that were said soon after his appointment made him realise it was going to be difficult to work with the German mentor at the club.

Mokwena revealed that he then met with Pirates chairman Dr. Khoza and requested to be given permission to go overseas, adding that he took a sabbatical when he returned from Europe.
