Most Orlando Pirates supporters should be excited about this prospect. Rulani Mokwena back to the Sea Robbers?
LUCKY LEKGWATHI ON RULANI MOKWENA RUMOURS
In case you have missed it, the 38-year-old Mokwena left Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca after 11 wins, 12 draws and four defeats in the Botola Pro 1 league in Morocco.
While the former Orlando Pirates tactician is still without a new club, rumours have suggested a possible return to the Sea Robbers.
According to the club’s great legend Lekgwathi, the name of the next coach is not really material. The most important thing is for Orlando Pirates to sustain the success.
“Look I don’t have a problem with the coach as long as the coach can come and take this team to another level,” Lekgwathi told iDiski Times.

“Look at [Mamelodi] Sundowns. Rulani left, and they got a new coach. That coach has now won the league, and the coach is in the final of the Champions League.
“We played the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, so next season we need someone who is going to take us to the final and challenge for the league as you know now our problem is in the league where we are not consistent.
“No matter who is coming, we as supporters, we just need to make sure we support him. When Jose came people called him a plumber and he surprised everyone. We supported the plumber and look where the plumber is today.
“He’s one of the best coaches to have coached Pirates. That’s why I’m saying whoever is coming to coach Orlando Pirates, even if he’s a plumber, let’s support that plumber or carpenter.
IS LUCKY LEKGWATHI RIGHT?
