Minimal chances of coaching an African club any time soon for Pitso Mosimane

Mosimane was speaking during a South African Football Journalists Association (SAFJA) virtual press conference this morning.

Mosimane, who is currently taking a break from coaching, after he had his contract at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) club Emirates Al Wahda terminated a few weeks ago, has also been the subject of interest from the majority of Kaizer Chiefs fans locally.

But the chances of that materializing are very slim judging by this response.

“Yeah and probably, there might be interest back at home and also maybe national teams, it will be nice also but it depends on which one and it depends on the reason also,” Mosimane said.

“It’s Cup of Nations [Africa Cup of Nations] in January, so maybe short-term but even after January the World Cup Qualifiers keep going on. Maybe that can also interest me but it has to be the right thing.

“With the national teams, I don’t have a problem to be back in the continent but club wise in the continent it’s not gonna be that easy,” Mosimane said.

Mosimane, who also moves around with his own technical team of assistant coach Maahier Davids, physical conditioner Kabelo Rangoaga, match performance analysts Kyle Solomon and Musi Matlaba, and now goalkeeper coach Hamad Alyami, says his movements are also dependent on where his team points him to.

“If there’s any movements or anything we want, we have bigger discussions. So, it’s not about me. I’m the head, I’m the face, I’m the leader of the program because I’m the head coach but I’m not the only guy who decides if we should go there or let’s not go there,” he explained.

“It’s not up to me, I’m talking about myself and not MT Sports because what if MT Sports decides to send CVs to strategic places? I have to remove myself from there. If they want to do that on my behalf, yes they can.”
