Pitso: We will strive to achieve greatness

South African coach Pitso Mosimane is aiming to “strive to achieve greatness” after joining UAE Pro League side Al Wahda as their new head coach.

The 58-year-old coach joined the club not long after parting ways with Al Ahli Saudi FC.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach left the Saudi club after guiding them to the Saudi First Division League title.

As a result, Al Ahli gained automatic promotion to the Saudi Professional League with four games remaining in the season.

Mosimane will now be joined by his trusted coaching staff which includes Kabelo Rangoaga, Musi Matlaba, Kyle Solomon and Maahier Davids.

“The Club’s Board of Directors welcomes Mr Mosimane to the Home of Champion ; wishing him the success in serving the club’s leadership, administration and fans ambitions,” announced Al Wahda Club in a statement released on Saturday evening, 17th June 2023.
