With domestic football currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic outbreak, the 32-year-old former Bucs coach revealed that his future will be decided by the Soweto giants.

“There is a discussion, but it is up to the two clubs to make a decision. I am still employed by Orlando Pirates and it’s up to them and Chippa United to come to that sort of decision,” Mokwena told PowerFM.

“But the chairman of Chippa United has shown the willingness to try and keep me beyond the current period.”

“But at this moment in time, we just have to move with what we have. My focus isn’t even on myself, my contract or my stay or (whether) I am going to be coaching next season. I think it would be selfish of us to think about that.”

Mokwena’s first game in charge of Chippa saw them hold Bidvest Wits to a 0-0 draw at Bidvest Wits Stadium.
