Rulani Mokwena is reported to be close to landing the Orlando Pirates job although there remains a major sticking point that could delay an agreement.
Rulani Mokwena is reportedly close to winning the race for the Orlando Pirates job but some finer details are holding up the deal.
Mokwena has emerged as the clear favourite to replace Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, who left in May to take over at Al Ahly, with veteran Pitso Mosimane and Harambee Stars boss Benni McCarthy the other candidates mentioned.
Reports in South Africa last week revealed that Pirates started talks with Mokwena after he returned to the country following his short stint at Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club with Egyptian side Pyramids also keen to lure him to Cairo.

Orlando Pirates Legend Issues Ultimatum As Mokwena And McCarthy Lead Succession Race
Orlando Pirates legend Moeneeb Josephs has demanded an end to rebuilding talk and urged the club to appoint a serial winner as Rulani Mokwena and Benni McCarthy lead speculation to succeed Jose Riveiro.
The South African giants appear to be the club Mokwena favours among a host of offers that have come his way and admitted early this month that he would be open to taking over the Buccaneers.
What is Delaying a Deal Between Mokwena and Pirates?

According to South African outlet iDiski Times, talks between Mokwena and Pirates are at an advanced stage but there are some key details that are delaying his appointment.
Key among them is the 38-year-old coach's desire to come with his own backroom staff, as he did at Wydad, but Pirates want long-serving coach Mandla Ncikazi to stay on as one of his assistants, after occupying the same role under Riveiro and previously as well.

'The Noise Was Too Much' – Rulani Mokwena Reveals What Really Led to His Wydad AC Departure
Rulani Mokwena revealed that his departure from Wydad AC was driven less by financial issues and more by other factors that made his role unbearable.
It remains to be seen if an agreement will be reached soon but Pirates are running out of time to have a new coach in place as they need to begin pre-season in July with a tour of Spain lined up where they will play a number of high-profile matches, including against English club Bolton.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach is one of the highly rated tacticians on the continent and has attracted interest from a number of teams but looks like he might return to Pirates where he worked previously as assistant and then as interim head coach between 2017 and 2019.
