Maybe Afcon glory next, but Pitso Mosimane in no rush: 'We can get employed next week if we want'

Three-time CAF Champions League champion Pitso Mosimane's next dream job would be one that can give him a chance to win the Africa Cup of Nations and qualify for the FIFA World Cup.

Mosimane is confident that he can guide a national team to the 2026 World Cup now that Africa has nine automatic slots and there's room for a possible 10th team through an arduous play-offs campaign.  

The 59-year-old coach has been linked with the head coach role for Nigeria who have started the World Cup qualifiers dismally, drawing with Lesotho and Zimbabwe.  

This has seen the current coach, Jose Peseiro, clashing with some members of the Nigeria Football Federation, including one who openly said if the federation had money to pay out the Portuguese coach, they would fire him with immediate effect.

Mosimane waxed lyrical about the Super Eagles' attack. But he also revealed that he is in no rush to secure his next job after parting ways with United Arab Emirates (UAE) side Al Wahda earlier this month.  

Jingles' immediate priority is to spend Christmas with his family and go on an eight-day holiday following his health scare in the Emirates that saw him hospitalised for four days.

He said he will decide his next move in January next year, and only a "big emergency" would make him sign a contract this year.  

Mosimane explained what he is looking for in a suitable suitor.

"We need to know what the team is like, what do they expect from you, and what is the vision?" Mosimane said at a press conference organised by the South African Football Journalists' Association on Monday.  

"The vision of the team is important. It's not about me sending my CV to clubs.
