SOUTH African head coach Pitso Mosimane has been appointed as Al Ahly manager following the departure of René Weiler.

The Swiss man opted against extending his contract due to personal reasons which made Al Ahly’s board make a quick decision in appointing Pitso Mosimane.
56-year-old Mosimane is considered one of the most reputable head coaches in Africa as he led Mamelodi Sundowns to 10 trophies during eight years in charge of the club.

Five South African league titles, two South African Cups, and a Nedbank cup are also among the trophies he lifted with Sundowns.
