MOSIMANE TO KAIZER CHIEFS?
Pitso Mosimane is without a club after partying ways with UAE club Al-Wahda. Kaizer Chiefs need a new coach after sacking Molefi Ntseki, so people have started connecting the dots. Cavin Johnson is the current boss on an interim basis but will return to his role as head of development.
“I’ll go anywhere, I’m a professional. As long as you show me the vision and we are aligned, any team I’ll go work for it,” said Mosimane in a recent interview with KayaFM’s T-Boss.
“If Maritzburg United, who are relegated now calls me and say, bring back the team to the Premier League, I’ll just go back and get the file that I brought back the biggest team in Saudi Arabia, Al Ahli, not Al Ahly Egypt, back to the Premier League.
“But you ask me about Kaizer Chiefs, what an institution. I mean, I supported the team when I was young,” added the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al-Ahly coach.
“In fact, Doctor Khumalo’s father used to take me to the matches of Kaizer Chiefs because my uncle used to play for Kaizer Chiefs.
“Doctor Khumalo was still young, today when I see him I get humble. So I used to watch Kaizer Chiefs, I watched Chiefs train in Phefeni in front of Kaizer Motaung’s house.
“They were training in the dust, not on the turf. I saw them, what an institution, what a team!” concluded Mosimane.
