“Our supporters are amazing. The Wydad fans are the best I have ever worked for,” Mokwena told Moroccan media after the match, as per MFM Sport.
“How they keep singing and encouraging their team, they deserve so much happiness and we’re gonna try every match to make them happy. We will do everything we can to bring the glory days back to this incredible club.”
The Red Castle supporters were singing Mokwena’s name after the final whistle as they were celebrating their first official win under his leadership, leaving the South African close to tears.
“I’m at a loss for words. The love and the warmth, the appreciation from the Moroccan people to me, it really brings me close to tears, I must tell you,” he added.
“I’m close to tears and I’m humbled, I just want to say thank you. There’s nothing you can say when people show you so much love and appreciation.
“Just in general Morocco is full of warm people, kind and the love, and the appreciation is sometimes overwhelming and sometimes I don’t think I deserve it because to be honest I haven’t done anything for this club yet.”
