The 57-year-old ended his almost eight-year stay with Mamelodi Sundowns in September 2020 before signing a two-year deal with Al Ahly.

Mosimane has had a successful tenure so far, winning the Egyptian Premier League, Egypt Cup and back-to-back CAF Champions League titles.

Meanwhile, 'Jingles' as he is affectionately known, has also guided Al Ahly to back-to-back third place finishes at the Club World Cup.

Mosimane will return to South Africa this week for the away leg of the CAF Champions League Group A encounter against Sundowns.

The match will be played on Saturday with the venue and kick-off time to be confirmed.
