Mokwena was thrown into the lion's den at Orlando Pirates - Carnell

The 35-year-old mentor is now at Chippa United for the remainder of the season, and it's unclear if he will return to the Sea Robbers for next season

Former Orlando Pirates assistant coach Bradley Carnell believes Rhulani Mokwena was thrown into the deep end when he was appointed as the club's interim coach in August 2019.

The Soweto-born mentor held the position for four months between August and December following the departure of Milutin Sredojevic.

Carnell said while Mokwena is an intelligent coach who doesn't rely on copy and paste, his appointment to the head coaching role came way too early.
