No deal so far! Rhulani Mokwena provides latest update regarding Bongani Zungu's potential move to Wydad AC - 'He is not yet ready'

Wydad Athletic Club coach Rhulani Mokwena has given the latest update regarding Bongani Zungu as he edges closer to joining the team.&nbsp;The experienced midfielder has been training with the Red Castle for more than a week now as he is hoping to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/wydad-ac-coach-rhulani-mokwena-planning-to-sign-ex-mamelodi-sundowns-star-i-love-bongani-zungu-he-knows-my-number/blt0c221dd3fd46a311" target="_blank">secure a contract under his former trainer.&nbsp;</a>Mokwena, who worked with Zungu at Mamelodi Sundowns, has explained why Wydad AC has yet to sign the veteran midfielder so far.&nbsp;

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Bongani Zungu is not ready yet. He needs the whole pre-season. So, we are trying to catch up a little bit with him and make sure that he is physically ready," Mokwena told the media, per <a href=" https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/african-football/mokwena-gives-zungu-update/" target="_blank">iDiski Times</a>.&nbsp;"He is training with us and he is doing well. Zungu is a very good player and a great human being. He helps us because he speaks English, French and Portuguese."He played in Portugal, so he can talk a little bit with Pedrinho in French, he can talk a little bit to Audori in Portuguese, he can talk with the rest of his teammates in French because he played in Ligue 1 for Amiens and of course, he speaks English," he added.&nbsp;"We understand why we brought him and hopefully he will be ready. This is a very difficult league, and he will have to adjust physically."&nbsp;

WHAT MOKWENA SAID

Zungu has been unattached since parting ways with Sundowns at the end of the 2023-24 season. In addition, Mokwena had also left the Brazilians just weeks after Zungu's departure.&nbsp;On the other hand, the 37-year-old mentor's Wydad AC<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/reprieve-for-rhulani-mokwena-as-wydad-casablanca-keep-alive-caf-champions-league-qualification-hopes/blt131164911f61d8d1" target="_blank"> moved to second place</a> in the Botola Pro League after beating SC Chabab Mohammédia 3-2 on Saturday.&nbsp;

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Zungu will keep on working on his fitness in the next couple of months and hopes to secure a deal with Wydad AC.&nbsp;The Red Castle will be looking to improve on their unimpressive performance when they visit COD Meknès on Wednesday, October 23.
