adminFROM coaching the greatest African club in history, Pitso Mosimane has settled for a move to take charge of a club in the Saudi Arabia second-tier league.
It means he will be coaching in the same league as Zimbabwe defender, Gerald Takwara, who joined Ohodo in July this year.
Former Warriors captain, Knowledge Musona, plays in the Saudi top-flight league.
Mosimane sealed a lucrative move as the new head coach of Al-Ahli Saudi FC on Saturday.
Mosimane ended months of speculation on his next position as he was announced by the second division Saudi Arabian side after his departure from Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
“Welcome, Coach! Pitso Mosimane is the new manager of our first football team,” the club said in a statement.
The 58-year-old will now be tasked with guiding his new side back to the top-flight of Saudi Arabian football after Al-Ahli were relegated to the second division at the end of last season.
Mosimane is both the most decorated coach in South African history as well as in Africa while at the helm of Sundowns and Al Ahly.
The former Bafana Bafana mentor became the first coach to lift the CAF Champions League titles with two different teams while sealing the continental trophy on three occasions.
Mosimane was also named as CAF Coach of the Year in 2016 while winning five PSL titles in a decorated managerial career so far. – Sports Reporter/KickOff.com
