When Rulani Mokwena heads for the exit at Mamelodi Sundowns, he will send reminders about how frequent coaching changes have been made at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mokwena is set to leave, with the reason for his departure related to operational issues.

The youthful coach has reportedly had a tense relationship with sporting director Flemming Berg, which has gone south after Mokwena completed his first full season in charge.
With Mokwena heading out it will bring back memories of the number of coaching changes that have happened at the club since dates famously changed to the year 2000.
Paul Dolezar was in charge as of January 1, 2000, as the new millennium kicked in with The Brazilians going on to win their third league title in a row.
Dolezar then handed over the baton to Clemens Westerhof at the start of the 2000/01 season, with the Dutch returning for a second stint.
From there, it was Neil Tovey, Dolezar again, Tovey again, Ted Dumitru, Shane MacGregor, Viktor Bondarenko, Djalma Cavalcante, Roger Feutmba.
Upon Patrice Motsepe taking over control of the club, Luis Oscar Fullone led as head coach at the start of the 2003/04 season but only lasted eight games in the job before moving into an advisory role.
Fullone was then followed by Khabo Zondo, Dolezar, Angel Cappa, Miguel Gamondi and Tovey, Gordon Igesund, Trott Moloto, Henri Michel, Dumitru again, Hristo Stoichkov, Moloto again and Antonio Lopez.
After Lopez lasted only six months, Ian Gorowa took over, followed by Johan Neeskens.
The Dutchman was then succeeded by Pitso Mosimane – the only coach to last at least two full seasons in charge at Sundowns since the Motsepes took over the club.
Mosimane was strong enough to have seven full campaigns of calling the shots at Chloorkop before leaving for Al Ahly.
After his departure, Manqoba Mngqithi and Mokwena were appointed as co-coaches in an arrangement that lasted two years before the latter was handed full charge.
As the youngest coach in the DStv Premiership for most of his reign at Sundowns, Mokwena has enjoyed as much success as he has been targeted by critics.
Mokwena delivered two league titles and the African Football League in 21 months.
With failure to land the Champions League, the 37-year-old was skating on thin ice and will now become the latest coach to head for the exit.

The next man coming in to replace Mokwena will be the 18th coaching change that the club has made since Motsepe took over in 2003.
This will mean that when Mokwena's replacement comes in, there will have been 27 coaching changes (including caretaker appointments) since the dates famously changed from 1999 to the year 2000.
