Algerian giants, MC Alger, have shortlisted Rulani Mokwena and two other managers for the club’s vacant coaching role.
The South African gaffer is currently unattached after leaving Wydad Athletic Club earlier this year.
After mutually parting ways with the Moroccan club, Mokwena has been linked to Zamalek SC but seems to have ruled out the offer.
According to a report by El Djadida, MC Alger has included Mokwena in a three-man shortlist alongside two French coaches: Patrice Carteron and Hubert Velud.
The report claims that while MC Alger are considering experienced foreign managers, they cannot hide their strong admiration for Mokwena.
His name reportedly carries serious weight in Algeria, with some already drawing comparisons between him and his renowned compatriot Pitso Mosimane, a respected figure in Arab North African football.
Moreover, there is said to be a generally positive sentiment among fans regarding Mokwena’s potential appointment.
He has also been linked with a sensational return to Orlando Pirates.
