“I think the difference with him is [that] he’s passionate about football, he’s passionate about coaching.” the Orlando Pirates icon said as quoted by SABC SPORT.

“He works so hard, I think he works 24 hours that guy, I don’t think he sleeps. I don’t think he’s got a bed, I think his bed is a laptop. He just wants to look at football, new tactics, and blah, blah, blah. You can see the signs of hard work.

“I think at Sundowns they gave him the platform, I think other teams didn’t give him the platform – they didn’t understand, they wanted the success now.”

“It’s difficult to explain that in the last four games we scored only one goal and the way we did it today was a rebound or ugly goal.” the Orlando Pirates coach said after his side were eliminated from the CAF Champions League by Jwaneng Galaxy.

“It’s a difficult day. It’s not acceptable. Our team is built and prepared to go to the Champions League group stage so we cannot accept this result and only say that we were unlucky.”

Kaizer Chiefs are improving – Rhulani

“Contrary to what the results may suggest. We are playing against a very good side, a very improved Chiefs team.” – Rhulani Mokwena said as quoted by IOL.

“We want to try to win every match at Mamelodi Sundowns. Regardless of whatever advantage or disadvantage we may have.”
