Mosimane credits Mamelodi Sundowns for Al Ahly job: I'm here because of Downs, but I worked hard for it

 

The ex-Masandawana tactician reflects on the journey that saw him landing his first coaching job outside South Africa

Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says walking to the Al Ahly dugout was “not a free passage” as he heaps praise on Downs for sprucing up his profile which led to recognition in North Africa.

After joining Al Ahly in September, Mosimane reportedly snubbed Wydad Casablanca, who were said to be interested in him.

Just a month after arriving in Cairo, the ex-Bafana Bafana coach won the Egyptian Premier League title, before claiming the Caf Champions League after beating traditional rivals Zamalek last Friday.
