Pitso promises to 'recreate history' with Al Ahli Saudi: 'Let's awaken the sleeping giant'

Well-renowned African coach Pitso Mosimane will again be in the dugout after putting pen-to-paper on a deal with Saudi Arabia outfit Al Ahli Saudi FC.

The club is based in Jeddah and currently plays in the second division after their shock relegation from the Saudi Arabia Professional League in 2021/22 campaign.

Details about the length and financial implications of Mosimane's contract remains to be undisclosed.

However, Mosimane is set to land in Saudi before the end of September.

"I am very excited for this opportunity and I can't wait to meet my new team @ALAHLI_FC. Shukran to the Chairman, CEO, Board, players, & supporters for trusting us with this mission. We will do our best, recreate history & make the green nation happy. Alhamdulillah," Mosimane said on his official Twitter account.

This will be Mosimane's first gig since leaving Egyptian giants Al Ahly in June despite inking a fresh deal three months prior to his departure.

Joining Mosimane at Al-Ahli will be his staff of fitness manager Kabelo Rangoaga, performance analysis manager Musi Matlaba and performance analyst Kyle Solomon.

In statement released by Mosimane's management team, the former Bafana coach instructed MT Sports only to bring forward offers that are "interesting and challenging".

"Having left Al Ahly SC three months ago, MT Sports has received numerous offers from clubs and national teams around the world for the services of coach Pitso and his dream team," it
