The former Sundowns tactician has promised to add an attacking player to his squad before the transfer window closes.
Wydad Athletic Club coach Rulani Mokwena is gutted after suffering a defeat in his first Botola Pro League game played on Friday night.
Despite a massive 70% possession, the Red Castle fell to a late strike from Hamza El Janati through a penalty which ended a 15-game winless run against MAS de Fes.
The result was not what Mokwena had anticipated, especially after having a good pre-season with the North African outfit.
‘It was a difficult game but I don't' like losing' – Mokwena
I’m sad, I don’t like losing. I’m a very bad loser; A good opponent in a difficult stadium, so congratulations to the opponents, that’s the most important thing we can say, congratulations to the opponents.” the 37-year-old told HeSport.
“It was a difficult game, I expected it to be difficult. Lots of long balls, and it stretched the team.
“In the second half, we played a lot better but we were good. I’m happy in the performance, just disappointed in the result.”
Mokwena empathizes with fans, promises a striker
The South African tactician concedes it was painful and hurting to the supporters who had anticipated a good result.
“The fans' pain is our pain, we know what the club is going through,” the youthful former Mamelodi Sundowns coach continued.
“It’s been a difficult two seasons and we are swimming against the tide. But we knew that before we came here. It’s a process and that’s why we signed a three-year contract, isn’t it?
“It’s a project and we want to be here, fulfill it, and leave this club better than we found it, and we will do it.
“We are in the market for a striker, for sure.”
South Africa international attacker Percy Tau has been heavily linked with a move to Wydad AC in the ongoing campaign.
