Pitso Mosimane is arguably the best African coach at the moment and his accolades speak for him. He has enjoyed a lot of success over the last decade with Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly. He won 2 CAF Champions League with both teams to be the most accomplished coach in the continent. He is definitely a rare breed and has been flying the South Africa high in foreign territories in the football world.
Jingles was been without a club since his exit from Al Ahly. He decided to terminate his contract after a bad spell with the Egyptian Giants. The tension was already brewing and his exit seemed inevitable. He has since been linked with a number of teams since his return to South Africa. He maintained that he wasn’t in a rush to find a team and was spending his time with the family.
Pitso Mosimane has been announced as the head coach of Al-Ahli Saudi FC. This team is based in Saudi Arabia and they play in the 1st division. They were relegated during the 2021/22 after a bad season. This is team with a lot of history and big ambitions which will make the task even harder for Jingles.
They are currently 7th on the log standings after securing 5 points from 8 matches. Pitso Mosimane will be expected to turn the situation around. He will first need to start by improving the team before challenging for promotion to the top flight in Saudi Arabia. This left many with mixed feelings and fans reckon that he can use this opportunity as a stepping stone to Europe.
Details of his contract aren’t yet known to the public, however we know that he doesn’t come cheap. It will be interesting to see how he will perform having spent months without being active. He is a great coach with the potential to turn the situation around for this club.
