The youthful mentor has now reverted to his old role as Bucs assistant coach after struggling while at the helm of the Soweto giants on interim basis
Golden Arrows coach Steve Komphela feels Rhulani Mokwena’s demotion to Orlando Pirates assistant coach does not take away his qualities as a coach.
Pirates hired German Josef Zinnbauer last week to replace Milutin Sredojevic as substantive coach, which brought to an end to Mokwena’s stint as caretaker trainer.
Describing Mokwena as “intelligent” Komphela said the youthful coach did not become bad in his trade just because he struggled for results in his brief stint as Pirates coach.
