Outgoing Chippa United coach Rulani Mokwena believes he had a successful loan spell with the Chilli Boys.

The 35-year-old joined the Chilli Boys on loan from Orlando Pirates in March this year but oversaw only one match due to the coronavirus-enforced hiatus for all football in the country.

However, the Chilli Boys have since opted against renewing the loan deal of Mokwena, which means he’ll now return to his parent club, Orlando Pirates.

‘After six months at the helm‚ it’s with overwhelming emotion that I officially announce that I have successfully served my loan contract as coach of Chippa United and close a short yet extremely beneficial period of my coaching career‚’ read a statement on Mokwena’s Twitter page.

‘As we complete our contract‚ we depart with respect‚ dignity and appreciation knowing that we leave the club better than we found it.

‘I want to thank the chairman‚ his family and the management for the opportunity and support.’
