Al Ahly appointed Mosimane as first team head coach

Al Ahly board announced on Thursday that they have reached an agreement with the South African manager Pitso Mosimane to take over as the first team head coach for the next two years.

Mosimane will succeed Swiss head coach, Rene Weiler, who coached the team this season and led them to win the Egyptian league title and took them to the semi-finals of CAF Champions League and the quarter finals of the Egyptian Cup.

“Mosimane’s staff includes an assistant coach, fitness coach and performance analyst in addition to assistant coach Sami Komsan, goalkeeper Coach Michel Iannacone and director of football Sayed Abdelhafiz , who kept their position in the coaching staff.” The club statement said.

 Mosimane is one of the best coaches in the continent and he has much experience in CAF champions League, having led his former club Mamelodi Sundowns to win the CAF Champions League title in 2016.

Mosimane’s Sundowns have been knocked out of the CAF Champions League this season by Al Ahly in the quarter-finals.

Al Ahly fans aim that the South African manager can lead the team to achieve the most prestigious title in the continent for the 9th time in the club’s history.
