Newly appointed Chippa United head coach Rhulani Mokwena has confirmed secret talks between the Port Elizabeth-based side and Orlando Pirates for him to stay at the club beyond the current season.
The 35-year-old mentor joined the Chilli Boys on a four-month deal at the start of March but he could stay longer depending on whether or not the season will be extended to allow for the completion of the remaining matches after being suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Mokwena said while chairman Siviwe Mpengesi has expressed the desire to keep him, his future will depend on the agreement between Chippa and Pirates because he is still employed by the Soweto giants.
