Rulani Mokwena opened up on the challenges of not being wanted at the club following Wydad’s 2-2 draw against FUS Rabat in the Botola Pro 1 on Monday.

Speaking after his troops conceded a late goal in the thrilling draw at the Stade Larbi Zaouli, Mokwena said that there are people that do not want him to be in Casablanca.

“What I see every week, throwing of bottles and all of that, I don’t like it. Maybe some people don’t want me here for long, and that’s okay, but while I’m here, Wydad will fight till death,” he told reporters.

“I know you guys don’t want me to say this, but we are a new team; it’s 26 new players, and we are fighting for a Champions League spot. I understand we haven’t won anything in two years; I understand there’s hunger for Champions League, and believe me, there’s no one who’s more hungry to play Champions League than me” the former Sundowns boss added.

The result saw Rabat overtake Wydad on the table, sending Mokwena’s side down into third place.

The 38-year-old made it clear that he wants to be at the helm, as he opened up on how he is even fasting with the players as they observe the holy month of Ramadan.

“Look, I had options to join clubs that play Champions League, I saw how Wydad fans love their team and show love to me, this is why I didn’t go to AS FAR, this is why I didn’t go to Raja. But what I see now, the lack of support, the lack of patience, and it’s not easy guys.”

“Do you know that this is my first Ramadan as a coach? It’s difficult, I’m fasting with the players so that I can feel what they are going through.”
