Well-traveled strategist believes Jingles deserves the job after a successful eight-year spell on Masandawana
Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates coach Muhsin Ertugral says Pitso Mosimane will have to adapt quickly as there is no patience in Egypt.
Nicknamed Jingles, Mosimane was officially named the new head coach of Egyptian soccer powerhouse Al Ahly on Thursday, and is due to go live according to Ertugral.
The Turkish tactician had a brief stint under three-time Egyptian champion Ismaily in 2005 as head coach.
“He deserves to be there and being there and keeping it will be the challenge for him. He has great players at his disposal that they want to achieve, “Ertugral said. Phakaaathi.
“He has more than half the players on the Egyptian team and he makes it much easier.”
“There is no patience at all on that side of the world, you have to deliver like yesterday. The most important thing is that she has to adapt as quickly as possible. “
Mosimane replaced Swiss coach Rene Weiler, who was surprisingly sacked by Al Ahly despite having led the team to the Egyptian Premier League and Super Cup in the 2019/20 season.
Weiler also guided the Red Devils to the Egyptian Cup quarter-finals, where they will face Abou Qir Fertilizers, and the Caf Champions League semi-finals, where they have faced Wydad Casablanca of Morocco.
Ertugral explained that Mosimane will have to win the Egyptian Premier League and the Champions League to keep his job at Africa’s biggest soccer club.
“There is no patience at all, nothing less than to win the title and the Caf Champions League. He took the challenge and knows what is expected,” he added.
“Nothing is easy, it’s all down to their hard work and most people don’t know how much time coaches spend to be successful.”
However, Ertugral believes that the 2016 Champions League winning coach is well equipped to train in the North African country.
“It will certainly be a great challenge in his career. I am pretty sure that after a quick adaptation he will be successful with Al Ahly,” he said.
“I am sure that he is equipped and knows how to handle the media because it is a country that has its own media demands.
“The players also need some details to know how you expect them to perform on the field.”
