MC Alger news

The 38-year-old has jumped to Nyoso's defence, hinting he deserves to be part of the squad that will play Chipolopolo in the next couple of days. However, the MC Alger tactician is convinced the Wydad Athletic Club attacker can make the national team in the future if he continues with his exploits for the Botola Pro League outfit.

South Africa is entering a Golden Era as they prepare to participate in the 2025 AFCON and 2026 World Cup after a long barren spell of failures and disappointments. With Banyana Banyana and Amajita winning silverware, and Amajimbos showing promise and the PSL title race tightening up, it's easy to get excited about local soccer right now.

The 38-year-old South African is getting it right in North Africa, where he aims to win the domestic competitions as well as deliver the CAF Champions League title. The former Masandawana tactician is in his second year outside Mzansi with top teams, with a lot of pressure, but is keen on answering his critics by delivering.

The South African tactician extended his unbeaten run in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 as MC Alger secured a hard-fought win over relegation-threatened El Bayadh on Sunday. The result keeps Mokwena’s side firmly atop the standings and adds further momentum to their impressive domestic campaign.

The Brazilians usually kick off their season in high gear, setting the tone to defend their league title. However, the 2025/26 campaign has lacked authority, even though the team tops the log with just three points. The man at the helm did not shy away from laying his cards on the table, acknowledging how this form has created an uneasy atmosphere within the club.

With several new signings still to be properly integrated with the squad, the veteran midfielder has called on the club's supporters to be patient and believes it is only a matter of time until The Brazilians hit the levels they know they are capable of.

The 38-year-old is set to return to South Africa with the Algerian outfit The People's Club in the CAF inter-club competition after being paired with the Brazilians in Group C. The tactician is confident the North African team can defy the odds and get a positive result despite facing one of the most experienced teams in the competition.

The ex-Wydad Casablanca coach is set for a fiery reunion as he faces his former club, Masandawana, for the first time since taking charge of the Algerian giants. The clash comes as the 38-year-old is eager to prove his credentials on continental soil after failing to win the continent's ultimate club competition with the Brazilians. All eyes will be on how the former Orlando Pirates tactician mentor plots against the very system he helped build.

The defending Premier Soccer League champions are working hard towards winning their second star in the CAF inter-club competition. In the 2024/25 edition, Masandawana reached the final but were unfortunate to fall against Egyptian outfit Pyramids, who had beaten Soweto giants Orlando Pirates in the semi-final.

The continental draw at the SuperSport studios on Monday threw up a tough group for The Brazilians. Not only do they face a former coach wise in their ways, but they face opposition who have already proved they can beat South African sides. They also have Sundanese club Al-Hilal, who were quarterfinalists last season.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns trainer is enjoying a purple patch in Algeria, helping his team stay on course to win their league title. Their latest victory comes just after making progress in the CAF Champions League, where they have reached the group stage.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach is at a club where there are high demands for results and not winning the continental competition is regarded as failure. The Algerian giants are known for not being patient with coaches. However, it is an environment he is familiar with after experiencing it at Masandawana and Wydad Casablanca.

The South African's side was made to sweat by their second preliminary round continental rivals, who proved to be a very stubborn opponent. However, in the end, it is Mokwena's team that had the last laugh.
