HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN: Rulani Mokwena Silences Egypt With Brutal 4-1 Win

Rulani Is Number 1’: Egyptian Media Hail Mokwena After Another Pyramids FC Victory

South African football coach Rulani Mokwena continues to make headlines in Egypt after guiding Pyramids FC to another impressive victory in the Egyptian Premier League, with local media now describing the highly rated tactician as the “number one”.

The 39-year-old coach has enjoyed a remarkable start to life in Cairo, building an impressive winning record while strengthening Pyramids FC’s position among Egypt’s leading football clubs. His latest achievement has attracted further attention, with his growing influence earning recognition from the Egyptian media.

Mokwena’s success is particularly significant given the intense competition in Egyptian football, where established giants such as Al Ahly and Zamalek traditionally command considerable attention.

Pyramids Continue Their Impressive Winning Run

Pyramids FC underlined their growing dominance on Tuesday, 20 October, when they secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Tala’ea El Gaish in the Egyptian Premier League.

The result extended Mokwena’s winning streak to 11 matches in all competitions, while Pyramids maintained their perfect record in the league after collecting maximum points from their opening seven matches.

The Egyptian side made a fast start, with Mohanad Lasheen opening the scoring in the sixth minute before Mostafa Ziko doubled their advantage nine minutes later.

Although El Gaish pulled a goal back through Ahmed Tarek, Pyramids continued to control proceedings. Mahmoud Saber restored their two-goal cushion in the 80th minute, before Mahmoud Zalaka converted a late penalty to complete the 4-1 victory.

The result strengthened Pyramids’ position at the top of the standings, with the club moving to 21 points from seven matches.

The latest recognition from Egyptian media highlights how quickly Mokwena has established himself as a respected figure in the country’s football landscape.

Since taking charge of Pyramids FC, the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates coach has demonstrated his ability to organise a competitive team, maintain winning momentum and deliver consistent results.

His side have also shown attacking quality, scoring goals regularly while finding ways to overcome different opponents.

For South African football supporters, Mokwena’s achievements represent another encouraging example of a local coach making a strong impression beyond the country’s borders.

His progress in Egypt is also attracting attention because Pyramids are competing against clubs with greater historical profiles and substantial domestic ambitions.

Bigger Challenges Await the South African Coach

Despite the impressive start, Mokwena faces significant challenges as the campaign progresses.

Pyramids FC will be expected to maintain their domestic consistency while competing in continental football, where expectations remain high following the club’s historic CAF Champions League triumph in 2025.

Sustaining the current winning streak will require tactical discipline, squad depth and consistency throughout a demanding schedule.

Nevertheless, the early results have placed Mokwena in a strong position, and the growing praise from Egyptian media suggests his work is already attracting considerable respect.

For now, the message surrounding the South African tactician is clear: Rulani Mokwena is making his mark in Egypt, and his impressive start has people taking notice.
