Despite his early reluctance, mounting pressure due to disappointing results has reportedly seen Rulani Mokwena change his mind about adding additional members to his technical team.
Upon taking over the reins at Wydad in July this year, Mokwena was keen on succeeding at the Moroccan giants, although he was eager to do it in his own way, with his own technical team.
However, eight matches in and pressure is mounting on the coach, particularly from the club's fans, although management have insisted that the 37-year-old has their full backing.

It is understood that Mokwena initially rejected the option of adding an Arabic assistant coach to his technical team, and in doing so, creating a bridge between himself and the players.
However, the latest reports emerging out of Morocco is that the coach has changed his initial stance and is now open to the idea of having Abdelali Laouina, who was suggested by the club's management, as part of his technical staff according to Moroccan website Assabah.
In recent press statements, Mokwena has called for patience from the club's supporters as he looks to restore the team to the pinnacle of football on the African continent.
