Interestingly, the mockery of the pharaohs about the former Bafana coach Bafana came minutes after his team was beaten by Al Ahly.
Former Egypt defender and Al Ittihad Alexandria assistant coach Ibrahim Hassan feels coaching Al Ahly is an easy job and says Pitso Mosimane would have a hard time lasting just two games if he takes over any other Egyptian Premier League team. .
Ironically, Hassan’s comments came minutes after Al Ittihad were beaten 4-0 by Mosimane’s Al Ahly in a league game on Monday.
Following the South African’s appointment to lead the Cairo giants in September, he has so far enjoyed a good run of 14 unbeaten matches, including two off the bench after testing positive for coronavirus.
“Yes Hareth [Al Ahly’s kit man] He took over Al Ahly, he will win trophies, ”Hassan said after the game according to Kingfut.
“If we [Ibrahim and his twin brother Hossam] took over from Al Ahly let’s win trophies. If Pitso managed any other team in the league, he will be fired after two games. Al Ahly were not good against us in the Egyptian Cup or in their last games or in the Caf Champions League. “
Hassan voiced his views even though his twin brother Hossam was at the helm of Al Ittihad’s technical bench and Mosimane overshadowed him.
A day laborer in his coaching career, Hossam rarely lasts long in the clubs he has taken over, his three seasons at Al Masry, between July 2015 and October 2018, have been the longest he has remained in a job.
Since taking his first role on the bench in 2008 after retiring as a player, Egypt’s all-time top scorer has been announced as a coach for various teams 13 times, including two seasons at Zamalek and as many at Al Masry.
He is currently a tactician for Al Ittihad for the third time.
Mosimane, on the other hand, has had a longer coaching career dating back to 2001, but has been in charge of only four teams, including a highly successful stint at Mamelodi Sundowns, from where he drew Al Ahly.
The South African has yet to savor defeat in 14 games during his time in Cairo, where he ended Al Ahly’s Caf’s seven-year drought of Champions League trophies.
He also guided them towards the Egyptian Cup and the Premier League title, so he nevertheless refused to take credit long after taking over a team that had already won him mathematically.
Having also headed SuperSport United and Bafana Bafana, Al Ahly’s role is Mosimane’s first outside of South Africa.
