Al-Ittihad eye Pirates star Mabasa for Mokwena reunion

The goal poacher’s time with the Soweto giants appears to be coming to an end, but a massive career move could be on the horizon for the prolific striker. Libyan giants led by a South African mastermind have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature.

Mokwena denies money the motivation behind Al Ittihad move

The South African coach has broken his silence on the shock decision to trade Algerian giants MC Alger for Libyan side Al Ittihad. The 39-year-old tactician, who leaves his former club at the top of the table, insists that his motivations were rooted in a long-term sporting project rather than a massive payday.

The Libyan giants had expressed their interest in the South African tactician, and finally, they have landed their man. The Premier Soccer League title winner has left the Algerian side mid-season following his appointment before the current campaign began. After leaving the Algiers-based outfit, with whom he won the Algerian Super Cup, he embraces a new challenge in Libya.

The South African tactician is feeling the heat as the Algiers-based side struggles. The Algerian league champions are winless in the last four games: a draw and three defeats, which puts the 38-year-old under immeasurable pressure. Eyes are now on him to see how quickly he will arrest the poor run and help the club return to winning ways.

After Mokwena and Cassius Mailula's departure, Lorch has also left, leaving Wydad with no South African talent.
