Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena is over the moon, understandably so, after he penned a new four-year contract extension with the South African giants, as Pulse Sports had reported earlier.
The club confirmed the development on Tuesday evening through a brief video announcement shared on their official Twitter handle in which Sundowns chairman Tlhopie Motsepe revealed the long-awaited news.
"Wolla Masandawana, this is your chairman speaking, and today I have some fascinating news that I want to share with you all," part of his message revealed.
"Our head coach Rulani Mokwena has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the football club. And what this means is, we will have four more years of success, hard work and dedication and joy, trophies and wonderful memories with the yellow nation."
For Rulani Mokwena, it was a sign of appreciation and love from the club, adding that he felt the urge to remain as club head coach to help Masandawana win more trophies.
"You know you are loved, appreciated and wanted, I look into the eyes of my players every single day, and I think there is still more to be done," he noted.
"It's because of that feeling that I felt the need to be able to put myself at service for this incredible institution once more and try to help it achieve more and win more trophies."
