Rhulani Mokwena is a suave 36-year-old South African who grew up dreaming of being a lawyer, but now lays down the law at Mamelodi Sundowns, the dominant football club in the country.
Crowned South African champions a sixth straight time this month, the Pretoria outfit have adjusted their sights to the CAF Champions League, which they won in 2016.
Mokwena has been likened to Jose Mourinho, one of the great modern-era coaches, in that both have been successful despite never playing at a senior level. Coaches do not disclose salaries, but it has been widely reported that Mokwena earns about one million rand a month. His unbeaten run included South African Premiership, South African FA Cup and CAF Champions League matches, and led to the league title with seven matches to spare, a record.
Gavin Hunt, a four-time title-winning Premiership coach, says Sundowns must be judged by their Champions League results.
