Rulani Mokwena unfazed by football nomad tag

The 39-year-old has coached Wydad Athletic Club, MC Alger, Al-Ittihad Tripoli and now Pyramids over the past two years. 

Speaking to SABC Sport, Mokwena said he will continue pursuing projects that offer opportunities for growth and silverware.

"No, I don't worry, because I don't look at my life in relation to how people or other people look at my life. I look at my life as a journey, a journey that allows me to move to different parts of the world and through the grace of God, a journey that continuously presents different moments and different chapters and different learning possibilities for me as a coach and for us as a staff," said Mokwena

"This is one of the jobs that gets harder and harder and harder. As you go, it gets harder and harder and harder with each and every single experience that you accumulate, you know, with many jobs, the more experience you have, the easier it is to function within that job."

"But with coaching, you can accumulate as much experience as possible. But you know, the toughness is in the working with the people, the working in high pressure environments, the day to day to improve people around you, the staff, the players to work on certain things. And I'm just grateful for that opportunity and these opportunities, you know."

Despite leaving midway through what turned out to be a title winning season in Algeria, Mokwena suggested he was recognised for that success.

Mokwena insisted he would make the same decision to join each of his previous clubs if given the chance again

"Whether I will ever get to experience that in the future remains to be seen, but for sure, if I were to be told at 20 years old that by the age of 39 I would have been head coach of all these great clubs, if I had been told that I would get the opportunity, even for one month, to work with such great players and to work for such great football leaders, I would have signed up very quickly. To achieve what we achieved and win what we won, in retrospect, time will always reflect."

"Look at what we did at Wydad, for example, with the resources that we had, finishing third that season compared to what happened this season. You see the amount of hard work and how significant it was for us to achieve what we did with the squad we had and the lack of resources that we faced."

His journey so far is what makes him the coach he is today, Mokwena argued.
