Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has opened up following his shock departure from the Brazilians.

The Brazilians confirmed that on Wednesday that the club has amicably parted ways with Mokwena

The 37-year-old has since revealed that he did not want to leave but was forced to leave the club.

“I didn’t want to leave. I have to make that clear. But I think my hand was forced,” Mokwena told Robert Marawa on Marawa Sports Worldwide.

“There are a lot of things I can’t talk about because I’ve signed a confidentiality clause that prohibits me from speaking about some of the details. I hope you understand there are things I cannot disclose because if I do, I’ll get into a lot of trouble.

“It makes no sense to me. But, there are a lot of things in life that don’t make sense, but they happen and you just have to accept.

“I’m blessed with enough wisdom to comprehend some of the things like this. Sometimes in football some strange things happen. But that’s the game.

He added: “What I’m accepting is that at 37, I’ve coached two of the biggest teams (Orlando Pirates and Sundowns) in South African football. I’ve won, as a head coach, seven trophies already at 37. I’ve won four league titles, coach of the season three times. I leave with a record that says 91 games played, 60 games won, nine lost and 11 draws. When I look at that, I’m extremely proud.

“I’m already employed, I will be coaching Black Poison for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I can revitalise myself and I can get the passion for football and for coaching because I have lost it a little bit, I must say.

“Maybe going back to where everything started, maybe that will reignite something.”
