Mosimane starts his mission with Al Ahly

Al Ahly new South African manager Pitso Mosimane arrived at Cairo on Friday night, accompanied by his assistants, to start his mission with Al Ahly.

The South African became the first African non-Egyptian coach to coach the African Club of the Century.

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 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.

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.
