South African coaching giant Pitso Mosimane shocked the entire continent after announcing his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns after a successful eight-year stint at the club.
Mosimane is inclined to take control of the hot seat in African giants Al Ahly following the departure of Rene Weiler. Mosimane’s pending move to the “African club of the century” may very well open up opportunities for some of his former stars to join him in the north.
Mamelodi Sundowns could take a series of hits should Pitso Mosimane hit some of his former stars, while the Kaizer Chiefs aren’t safe either. The defending champions PSL are undoubtedly one of the richest teams in Africa, yet the financial muscle Al Ahly possesses when it comes to transfers is unmatched on the continent.
Will Pitso Mosimane receive Al Ahly’s checkbook?
Al Ahly spent more than R110 million on transfers during the 2019/20 campaign on just five players in hopes of winning the CAF Champions League. The club made a massive statement by signing Senegalese striker Aliou Badji, Malian midfielder Aliou Dieng, Egyptian midfielder Afsha and Egyptian defender Mahmoud Metwaly, while Ramadan Sobhi joined the club on loan.
Like Rene Weiler, Pitso Mosimane will be funded to attract players of his choice and several of his former players are likely to be high on his wish list.
Pitso Mosimane Wish List – Who Is Likely To Do It
Prayer Lord
Full-back Thapelo Morena has shown incredible improvement with Mosimane since joining him from Bloemfontein Celtic. It is fast, it is complicated and it can play in numerous positions, the only question mark about its quality is its final product, however no one can argue that it is constantly improving.
Despite being hampered by a serious ankle injury, the prolonged suspension of COVID-19 at PSL allowed Morena to make a full recovery and Mosimane will undoubtedly have it on his radar in the North.
Gaston sirino
Uruguayan attacking midfielder Gaston Sirino has already been on Al Ahly’s radar in the past and Jingles may now prove to be the bargaining chip that the Egyptian club needed to attract the talented playmaker.
Khama billiat
Kaizer Chiefs attacker Khama Billiat enjoyed his most successful spell under Pitso Mosimane on Mamelodi Sundowns. The Zimbabwean has the continental pedigree demanded by Mosimane and Al Ahly.
Billiat’s disappointing season at Kaizer Chiefs may lead the former CAF Champions League winner to explore a new challenge and who better to do so than his former mentor?
Samir nurkovic
However, the Kaizer Chiefs will be desperate to hang on to their star attacker, if Mosimane really struggles to catch the man who caused him sleepless nights for much of the 2019/20 campaign, then the Amakhosi won’t be able to miss a mega- money deal.
Nurkovic is Mosimane’s dream forward. Pitso has been looking everywhere for a strong but mobile target for continental football and after seeing the Serbian’s skills last season, it won’t be a surprise that Jingles hits Nurkovic.
Motjeka Madisha and Andile Jali may also tempt Pitso Mosimane to take them abroad, given their continental pedigree, while Cape Town forward Kermit Erasmus could also make a lot of sense for Pitso.
Pitso Mosimane will be appointed head coach of Al Ahly before the end of the week. Its earnings are expected to exceed R3 million per month, according to reports from Egypt.
