Pitso Mosimane has found a new club after signing a deal with Persian Gulf Pro League giants Esteghlal Football Club.

The 60-year-old has been without a club since parting ways with Saudi outfit Abha Club.

He was previously linked to returning to South Africa to join Kaizer Chiefs but he has since committed his future to the Iranian side after penning a one-year contract.

Mosimane is joined by assistant coach Maahier Davids, Strength and Conditioning Coach Kabelo Rangoaga and analysts Musi Matlaba and Kyle Solomon.

“Esteghlal F.C. is a very big club in the Gulf region, with a long and illustrious history. The two Asian Champions League stars on top of their badge tell you what kind of club this is,” he said in an official statement made by MT Sports.

“Their last trophy was won in 2022, and we can believe their fans are hungry for glory once
again. The challenge that awaits us is steep, but it is our privilege to lead such a prolific club. I would like to thank the club leadership for placing their trust in us. We are ready to get to work.”

MT Sports Marketing & Management released the following statement on the matter:

MT Sports Marketing & Management is delighted to confirm the appointment of Coach Pitso Mosimane and his technical team at Esteghlal F.C., playing in the Persian Gulf Pro League.
