Mamelodi Sundowns first-team coach Steve Komphela has labelled head coach Rulani Mokwena as a"genius", saying he mustn't be"robbed" of the coach of the season award.
"First of all the guy [Mokwena] is unbelievably intelligent...he's brains, brains, brains. You'll never get into coaching and succeed at a young age without brains. He's a genius,'' Komphela said on the sidelines of the Nedbank quarterfinals draw, where they were pitted against Stellenbosch, at SuperSport Randburg Studios on Monday night.
"Unfortunately, in modern management [roles] aren't only about the capability to do your job, to be a great tactician...it's about managing the rest of other dynamics around you. One friend of mine, Roger de Sa, once said that 90% of our earnings... 90% of what the coach earns is about everything that happens around, and 10% is what they do on the pitch, and I think coach Rulani has mastered that...he's very calm.
Sundowns dismantled the co-coaching set-up in October last year, appointing Mokwena as the sole head coach while his then co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi was demoted to be the senior coach, a role that was occupied by Komphela then. Komphela was subsequently named the first team coach.
