Former Sundowns manager Rulani Mokwena has vacated his post as head coach of Wydad AC. The 38-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to Orlando Pirates, and Rulani isn’t doing much to quell those rumours. He served as Josef Zinnbauer’s assistant in the 2019-2020 campaign.

All you need to know about Mashiloane

What is there to know about 23-year-old Baroka defender Tshepho Mashiloane? Well, the versatile star can operate at right-back or in central midfield. This will be a considerable boost for the Pirates technical team; although they have a strong squad at their disposal, both full-back positions are a relative weak spot. With experience in the second tier, it’s also hoped that he’s ready for a battle. There are reports that Pirates are also close to wrapping up a deal for Baroka’s winger Kabelo Kgositsile. He’s opened up about the imminent move, which is a bittersweet one.
