The publication further reports that Mosimane’s ambitions are bigger than the Bafana Bafana coaching job with the source adding that the coach would consider moving somewhere in the Middle East should Al Ahly decide to terminate his contract for whatever reason in the future.   

“It would be the same thing as asking Percy Tau to come and play for Kaizer Chiefs.

“Once you go to Belgium or wherever‚ then you will come back to hang your boots here [in SA],” concluded the source.

According to the Egyptian media, Mosimane will coach both Al Ahly and the Pharaohs provided he agrees to take over from current coach Hossam El-Badry.
