Libyan Union Pushes Mokwena to Return to Morocco After Departing Algeria
South African coach Rulani Mokwena has chosen Morocco once again as the starting point for his preparations with the Libyan Union, a decision that reflects his reliance on an environment he knows well. He previously coached Wydad AC and closely observed the quality of sports infrastructure in the Kingdom.
Mokwena is leading an intensive training camp that places him at the heart of his new project, aiming to build a team based on possession play, short passes, and a smooth transition from defense to attack. The coach believes that this approach is the fundamental way to restore the technical balance of the Libyan team and gradually enhance group cohesion.
This shift in Mokwena’s career comes after a short and controversial tenure with CR Belouizdad, which ended quickly and opened the door for a more challenging experience with one of Libya’s most prominent clubs. He counts on his experience in African football to leave his mark and rebuild a competitive team.
The camp held in Morocco holds special significance for the technical staff, not only from a sports perspective but also in terms of the psychological and mental stability of the players, in an environment the coach is already familiar with and considers suitable for implementing his tactical ideas without the pressure of official matches.
Libyan fans are eagerly anticipating the outcomes of this training camp, with high hopes that Mokwena will succeed in making a visible transformation within the team and conveying his continental experience to the players, enabling the Union to return strongly to the local and continental competition.
The coming days will be crucial in testing the team’s responsiveness to the South African coach’s vision in an experience that could outline a new footballing project and establish the upper limits of the team’s ambitions in the upcoming phase.
