Should his time at Wydad Casablanca come to an end, South African coach Rulani Mokwena says he will look for more opportunities abroad as he looks to build on his CV.
Mokwena joined the Moroccan giants following his dismissal by Mamelodi Sundowns, despite guiding the club to a seventh straight league title, his third in a head coach capacity.
Speaking to CAF media, Mokwena said he has no plans on returning to South Africa anytime soon.
“As much as I miss South Africa, and I love the South African people, of course and I think maybe towards the end of my career I can go back to South Africa," Mokwen, who turned 38 on Thursday, said.
“I think now is about spending some time here, learning, challenging myself and improving.
“But also then trying to stretch myself into bigger clubs, more challenging scenarios and learning from many other coaches and many other cultures."
The former Sundowns boss went on to speak about the bond he has built with Wydad, saying it was a privilege to be in charge of the Moroccan giants.
“And it’s only a privilege to represent the people of the winners. Wydad is a very special club and I’m falling more and more in love with this club every single day.
“Yesterday we had our fans at the training session and I can tell you I was close to tears when they came to support us.”
