I leave Chippa United as first coach to finish his contract - Mokwena

Former Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Rhulani Mokwena has boasted about being the first Chippa United head coach to see out his contract with the club.

The 35-year-old recently surprisingly parted ways with the Chilli Boys a month after club chairman Siviwe 'Chippa' Mpengesi indicated they are looking to keep him for the long term.

However, the Chilli Boys, who have a history of firing coaches in South African football, announced Mokwena will leave the club when his short-term deal expired at the end of last month.

Mokwena had joined the Eastern Cape-based side in March 2020 on loan from Orlando Pirates, but he departed as a proud man.
