In doing so, Mosimane became only the second coach to reach three consecutive CAF Champions League finals after Manuel Jose who did the same with Al Ahly.

No coach in the history of the CAF Champions League has ever achieved what Mosimane is about to achieve with Al Ahly.

And one can expect Al Ahly to do all they can to lift the trophy, and that’s because Mosimane’s ultimate goal is to return to the FIFA World Cup and win it.

For two years running, Al Ahly, under Mosimane, picked up bronze medals as they finished as the third best club at the annual global club tournament.
