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.
