Former Wydad Athletic Club coach Rulani Mokwena has opened up about the challenges he faced while rebuilding the Moroccan giants, explaining how Thembinkosi Lorch and Cassius Mailula became part of his plans despite the club's limited financial resources.

Mokwena, who is currently coaching Egyptian side Pyramids FC, has reflected on his recruitment strategy at Wydad, revealing that bringing in the two South African players was part of a much bigger rebuilding project.

Wydad Had Limited Financial Resources

According to Mokwena, Wydad were operating under significant financial limitations, meaning the club had to be clever with its recruitment decisions.

The South African tactician explained that the club brought in 29 new players during the rebuilding process, but did not spend money on transfer fees.

Instead, Wydad concentrated on signing available players, including free agents and footballers who could be brought in on loan.

This approach allowed Mokwena to reshape the squad without requiring substantial transfer investments.
