Recent reports reveal that Pitso Mosimane, a prominent football coach, and his technical team at Al Ahli have not been paid their salaries and bonuses for several months. This issue has raised concerns about Mosimane’s future at Al Ahli, with rumors circulating about his possible departure from the Saudi club.
Unpaid Wages and Bonuses
According to TimesLive, Mosimane’s representatives may need to involve FIFA in resolving the matter of unpaid wages and bonuses. A source close to the situation stated that the coaching staff had achieved their mission and are currently engaging with the team to receive their unpaid salaries and bonuses.
Clause in Mosimane’s Contract
During an appearance on Saudi Arabian TV last month, Mosimane hinted at a clause in his contract that stipulated an extension of his contract once the team was promoted to the Saudi League. However, a previous report by Goal Arabic claimed that Al Ahli’s President Walid Moaz has decided to seek a new coach instead of offering an extension to Mosimane’s initial one-year contract.
Uncertainty Looming
The current situation creates an ambiguous future for Mosimane and his team at Al Ahli. A source mentioned that the club’s unpredictability could lead to a last-minute decision to keep Mosimane or choose a European coach.
Mosimane’s Future
When asked about his future at Al Ahli, Mosimane directed questions to his wife and agent, Moira Tlhagale. While Mosimane did disclose that he had turned down an offer from Egyptian club Zamalek, his agent remained tight-lipped about his future at the Saudi club.
The unresolved issues regarding unpaid wages and Mosimane’s future at Al Ahli create a complex situation for the esteemed coach and his team. One can only hope for a fair resolution that recognizes the hard work and accomplishments of Mosimane and his team.
