With Rulani Mokwena's departure from Mamelodi Sundowns now sealed, the next course will be all the talks that will determine where he will coach next.
Temporarily, Mokwena will keep active in the amateur ranks with Black Poison, but considering the weight of his profile, interest will stretch all the way to North Africa.

The 37-year-old has left Sundowns having lifted the inaugural African Football League and come stuck in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League two years in a row.
While there is a feeling he didn't meet Sundowns' expectations on the continent, his work is admired.
Considering what his package was at Sundowns, it is only the clubs in North Africa that will be attractive for Mokwena.
Mokwena was on a gross salary of USD392 000 per annum (approx. R7,2 million) before performance-related bonuses which earned him a further six percent of all prizemoney won by the club.
This then puts Mokwena in the bracket of around USD500 000 (R9 million) per annum.
Who pays that money on the continent?
In Egypt – Al Ahly, Zamalek, and Pyramids can meet Mokwena's demands at the blink of an eye, but they are not in the market for a coach.
Out in Tunisia, Esperance and possibly Etoile du Sahel can stretch their way, while in Morocco there are wider options.
Wydad Casablanca and Raja Casablanca can step all the way if they feel they genuinely need a coach, while FAR Rabat and RS Berkane have the means to move closer to paying heavy packages.
Worth noting is that Nasreddine Nabi was earning less than USD500 000 per annum at FAR Rabat.

Clubs in Algeria and Libya will have to stretch beyond their means to entice Mokwena.
Agents based in North Africa have for long spoken out about how Mokwena will be suited to the North African market considering the respect he commands in that part of the continent.
