Ramovic breaks silence on Chiefs links - 'It is always an honour '

With Amakhosi's form on a downward spiral, much of the blame has focused on their co-coaches, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze. This has led to speculation around who is next for the Naturena hotseat. One of those names belongs to the 46-year-old Bosnian who is remembered in South Africa for his stint at TS Galaxy and his feud with Rhulani Mokwena.

Mokwena under fire after Ramovic cup defeat

The honeymoon period is officially over for the 39-year-old coach as his MC Alger side were dumped out of the cup competition by CR Belouizdad on Wednesday. The pressure is mounting on the ex-Mamelodi Sundowns tactician, who has faced criticism of his style of play and is being targeted by Libyan side Al-Ittihad to take their hotseat.

Al-Ittihad admit to 'intensive negotiations' in pursuit of Mokwena

The Libyan heavyweights have confirmed that they are in the middle of a high-stakes pursuit to pry the 38-year-old away from MC Alger. Despite the South African tactician being currently employed in Algeria, the Tripoli-based side have identified him as the primary candidate to lead their ambitious sporting project following the departure of Khaled Ben Yahia.

'I am Mokwena, not Guardiola' - Rhulani hits back at critics

The South African coach has come out swinging against his detractors following a frustrating period for MC Alger. The former Mamelodi Sundowns tactician, who has often been compared to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola due to his tactical sophistication, insisted on his own unique coaching identity after his side failed to secure maximum points in consecutive league outings.

Mokwena frustrated as MC Alger struggles continue

After elimination from the continental competition, the South African tactician has continued to face challenges as his charges are yet to win. The Algerian outfit has not won in the last three games, and if the trend continues, it will put the former Masandawana coach under pressure. As the winless run extends, the 38-year-old tactician must come up with a plan to steady his boat before it gets worse.

Mokwena suffers another blow after CAF CL elimination by Sundowns

The South African tactician had an ambition of having a successful debut campaign with the Algerian giants. However, one of his targets will not be achieved after the Algiers-based outfit was eliminated from the continental inter-club competition. After suffering the CAF setback, upon resumption of the domestic duty, Mokwena's club was handed another one.

Treble dream possible! Mokwena praised by ex-Zamalek coach as MC Alger chase three trophies

Mokwena's journey with the Algerian side has been impressive so far, and they are likely to lift more trophies in his maiden season. Judging by how the journey is going, the South African tactician could have a far more successful season after struggling with Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca. This is the second time that the Premier Soccer League-winning tactician has been praised by an opponent who faced his team.

Riveiro breaks silence over troubled Al Ahly spell - 'Let's leave it there'

Despite taking an ambitious step in his career by accepting the offer from the Egyptian giants, the Spaniard did not last long in Cairo. The 50-year-old tactician had a relatively successful three-season stint with Bucs, but his brief spell with Al Ahly was disastrous and did not last long. In three months, he only managed one win in seven games, and his fate was sealed after a home loss to Pyramids FC at the end of August.
