'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.

After elimination from the continental competition, the South African tactician has continued to face challenges as his charges are yet to win.

As the winless run extends, the 38-year-old tactician must come up with a plan to steady his boat before it gets worse.
