Al Ahly have confirmed that Pitso Mosimane will be their new head coach following his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns.
News emerged on Wednesday morning that Mosimane was set to resign and move to the Egyptian giants, with the 2016 Caf Coach of the Year confirming his resignation later in the day. He, however, didn’t announce his next destination, instead saying he was leaving to join an international club.
Reports in both South Africa and Egypt, though, suggested that the coach was signing for the African Club of the Century and they confirmed the news with a post on social media.

With Ahly in the semi-finals of Africa’s elite club competition and in the last 16 of the Egyptian Cup and the league title already secured, Mosimane will have the opportunity to bag the Egyptian giants a historic treble.
