Al-Ahly’s coach Pitso Musimani revealed new behind-the-scenes details of his transfer from Sundowns training to Al-Ahmar training.
Musimani said on His Excellency’s DMC show: “I got a call from Al-Ahly. I wasn’t sure if someone calling me really represents Al-Ahly. Sometimes I get calls like these. They happened before on behalf of Zamalek and I don’t know if the caller is a club representative. The same thing happened too. ” I have a good relationship with Wydad with his fans because they sing to me every time I go there. They told me in Morocco that this had never happened with any coach ”.
He added: “I confirmed the authenticity of Al-Ahly’s call, through my wife and my business manager, through a video call with Amir Tawfiq.”
He added: “It was an easy decision to move to Al-Ahly, we won and I won. My first conversation with Al-Khatib was easy, because he told me that he wanted a coach who understood the competitors of Al-Ahly, the first of the which is Wydad, and then Raja or Zamalek. “
He highlighted: “I knew Wydad well because I faced him 8 times, and I know Raja’s coach, and I know Zamalek for sure.”
He revealed: “Mahmoud Al-Khatib’s support for me has continued from my arrival until now.”
He added: “I knew the Al-Ahly players because I played against them. When Al-Khatib introduced them to me, I knew them by name with their positions and their jersey numbers because I studied them before facing them. The players were surprised by That’s not my intelligence, but because I played against them. “
He added: “Some of the players also knew me and understood the way I played, which accelerated the harmony.”
He continued: “On the plane as I was heading to Egypt, I watched Al-Ahly’s last 3 matches. I didn’t sleep the entire flight because he had a match in front of me two days later.
He explained: “I did not sleep soundly because I was about to train Al-Ahly, and I know that their coaches do not last much less than Manuel José. But I come from an environment used to winning titles, so I know these conditions, and for me As long as Al-Ahly beat the Sundowns, it’s a good team. “
And he added: “To change what happened in the last 7 years, I told the players that we have to change our method, let’s try my way. I didn’t win the African Champions League in 4 years either, but it’s a shorter period.” .
“We didn’t change people, we just changed the way they play and put new ideas in their minds. They won the league and knocked out Sundowns before I got here, so they had to be convinced that they are a strong team. I told them to the players who won the league and who must use the remaining games to build for the CAF Champions League, “he said.
