Nagelsmann is just case in point - Orlando Pirates' Mokwena speaks out about being discriminated

Former Orlando Pirates caretaker coach Rhulani Mokwena says he felt discriminated against while in charge of the Soweto giants.

The young tactician took charge of the Buccaneers at the age of 34 following the sudden departure of Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic last August having previously served as an assistant coach.

The team struggled under Mokwena's guidance in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and he was replaced by Josef Zinnbauer last December
