Johannesburg – Pitso Mosimane has added another feather to his cap after guiding Egyptian giant Al Ahly to his ninth CAF Champions League title at the International Stadium in Cairo on Friday night.
Mohamed Magdi’s impressive late goal saw Al Ahly defeat fierce rival Zamalek 2-1, to win a record Champions League title, ending a seven-year drought in the Champions League.
Yes, Al Ahly Chairman Mahmoud El Khatib could not have been blind when they insisted on acquiring the services of the revered Mosimane.
After beating Zamalek 3-1 on aggregate to win the Champions League with Sundowns in 2016, Mosimane proved his mettle by beating Al Ahly 5-1 to reach the semi-finals of the competition last season.
Now Jingles is about to win two triples in two countries.
He won the treble with the Chloorkop Downs by bagging the league, the Telkom Knockout and the Nedbank Cup before resigning to join the Egyptian team.
Upon arrival in Cairo, the former Bafana manager won the Egyptian Premier League and on Friday crowned his glorious season by lifting the Champions League trophy, his 15th major trophy overall.
Al Ahly face Al Ittihad in the Egyptian Cup semi-finals before a possible rematch against Zamalek in the final.
Mosimane has become the third manager to win the Champions League in two countries.
At Sundowns he has won 11 titles, including five league titles and the prestigious Champions League and Super Cup.
When he took office in early October, Mosimane said he knew exactly what was expected of him: “I have been entrusted with the opportunity to lead and run the Team of the Century, and I know how great the job is.”
