Pitso Mosimane, a renowned soccer coach, is in the midst of a potential move to either Kaizer Chiefs or Egypt. Reports suggest that Egypt is keen on Mosimane as a replacement for Rui Vitori, who failed to lead the team to victory in the Afcon tournament. However, Kaizer Chiefs is still in the running, and Mosimane’s final decision will come down to Bobby Motaung, the owner of the team, and the allure of Egyptian soccer. As Mosimane’s career highlights showcase his coaching acumen, the drama surrounding his potential move is expected to cause a stir in the football world.
Will Pitso Mosimane move to Kaizer Chiefs or Egypt? Recent reports indicate that Egypt may be keen on roping in the reputed coach as a substitute for Rui Vitori, who failed to lead the Pharaohs to victory in the recent Afcon tournament. However, Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly still in the race. Mosimane has an illustrious career with championship-winning tenures with Mamelodi Sundowns and Cairo-based Ahly. The final decision lies between Kaizer Chiefs’ owner Bobby Motaung and Mosimane.
Considering the Move: Kaizer Chiefs or Egypt?
The football landscape is currently buzzing with rumors about reputed coach Pitso Mosimane’s prospective move to Kaizer Chiefs. Such whispers have grown more vociferous amidst a flurry of uncertainty. However, recent reports indicate a potential plot twist. Mosimane, who currently is working wonders with Abha Club in Saudi Arabia on a provisional stint, may find the appeal of Northern African soccer giants, Egypt, hard to resist.
Speculation is rife that a disappointed Egypt, due to their recent underwhelming performance in the ongoing Afcon tournament held in Ivory Coast, is keen on roping in Mosimane as a substitute for Rui Vitori. Under Vitori’s leadership, the Pharaohs failed to clinch even a single victory in the group stages. They later succumbed to DR Congo in the round of 16. This poor show eventually led to the termination of Vitori’s contract, thus paving the way for a possible Mosimane takeover.
While Mosimane’s name is in the mix for the vacant Egypt coaching role, he is not the only potential candidate. Some reports are pointing to Herve Renard as an alternative contender for the prestigious position. However, the South African connection with Mosimane remains strong. Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly still in the race and is expected to table their offer at the conclusion of the season. Will Egypt’s overtures overshadow their ambition?
The Unfolding Drama: Media Speculation and Career Highlights
Being a high-profile figure in professional football, Mosimane is no stranger to media buzz and speculation surrounding his career moves. Ahmed Shobeir, a former goalkeeper now a football pundit, revealed on SportFM, a local radio station, that Mosimane is not adverse to the idea of coaching Egypt and is awaiting an official approach.
Looking back at Mosimane’s illustrious career, prior to his stint in the Gulf, he served brilliantly as the Bafana Bafana coach. His championship-winning prowess was on full display during his tenure. Mosimane’s successful tenures with Mamelodi Sundowns and Cairo-based Ahly are further proof of his coaching acumen, with a staggering 17 trophies under his belt, including three CAF Champions League titles.
The Final Decision: Between Motaung and Mosimane
However, the ultimate question that arises is whether Kaizer Chiefs’ owner Bobby Motaung will lose out on Mosimane to Egypt’s allure? Earlier, this publication highlighted Motaung’s dismissal of any association with Mosimane. However, it appears that Mosimane, affectionately known as ‘Jingles’, still remains a top choice for the Naturena-based side.
An insider revealed to Phakaaathi, “The Chiefs’ management was pleased to learn that Pitso (Mosimane) has inked a short-term agreement with the club from Saudi Arabia.” As this intrigue thickens, it’s evident that Chiefs’ senior member Kaizer Motaung holds Mosimane in high esteem. This source further stated, “Kaizer (Motaung) senior admires Pitso, and he had once said that only two local coaches are capable of coaching Chiefs, and Pitso is one of them.”
