Moloi left the Chilli Boys after only a month into the job and it was reported that it was due to him and coach Dan Malesela not seeing eye-to-eye on technical matters.
“There are two types of assistant coaches. There’s the one who is a learning assistant and there is one who is a contributing assistant. I think I have outgrown the stage of being a learning assistant coach,” Moloi told KickOff.com.
“I am a contributor, as you saw in the years I spent at Pirates [as assistant coach to Roger de Sa and Eric Tinkler]. You could see I was vocal and active on the bench.

“My relationship with Dan is still good. I think Dan wants a learning assistant coach, not a contributing assistant. He has his own methodology. We realised that it won’t be effective for the team because at the end of the day he is head coach and he knows what he wants.”
“I want to contribute. I am about sharing ideas and we learn from each from having ideas. We need to discuss and see how best we solve problems. We both realised that our methodology is not the same,” Moloi concluded.
