Libyan giants Al-Ittihad eye South African coach Rulani Mokwena amid Ben Yahia uncertainty

Al-Ittihad are reportedly preparing to make a move for South African coach Rulani Mokwena amid uncertainty regarding the future of Tunisian coach Khaled Ben Yahia.

The Libyan giants are considering parting ways with Ben Yahia amid the club’s inconsistent performance in the ongoing campaign, with Mokwena, who is currently at the helm of MC Alger, emerging as a priority target.

Mokwena, who has previously coached Mamelodi Sundowns, Wydad AC, and Mouloudia d’Alger, is no stranger to high-pressure roles.

However, his tenure in Algeria has faced challenges, particularly following Mouloudia’s early exit from the group stage of the CAF Champions League.

Despite that, Al-Ittihad management appears confident that Mokwena could bring tactical acumen and stability to the Libyan club if given the reins.

As talks reportedly continue, Al-Ittihad fans are keeping a close eye on developments, hoping the potential appointment could revive the team’s ambitions both domestically and continentally.
