The Al-Ahly Planning Committee placed Pitso Musimani’s name among the most prominent names nominated to succeed Rene Fyler in Al-Ahly training.
The South African coach, as FilGoal.com well knows, won the support and approval within the committee, due to the precedence of his coronation in 2016, as well as his extensive experience working on the African continent.
What was also in the ranks of Mosimane’s nomination, is his knowledge of Al-Ahly and his players, and of the three teams vying for the CAF Champions League title, Zamalek, Wydad and Raja.
Musimani’s skill in dealing with players psychological, and the popular acceptance he enjoys from the planning committee point of view, was the reason for his nomination.
Al-Ahly got in touch with Musimane in the last hours and found a welcoming state among the South African coach, who resigned hours before Sundowns training, according to South African reports.
Musimane had won the CAF Champions League with Sundowns in 2016 at the expense of Zamalek.
Mosimane led the Sundowns in 2012, winning the League titles 5 times and a summer two, the Nedbank Cup twice and the Telkom Cup two, as well as winning the Champions League and the African Super Cup.
Musimane was named Coach of the Month 5 times in the South African League, as well as the best coach of the season 4 times and won the Best Coach of the Month award on the continent in 2016.
Musimani renewed his contract with Sundowns last May for 4 seasons.
FilGoal.com learned that Al-Ahly will thank their current coach, Rene Fyler, after taking on Arsenal, after negotiations between the two sides reached a dead end. (See details)
FilGoal.com had revealed the name of Argentine Rodolfo Aruabarina among the candidates to succeed Fyler.
