“I can see that Major League Soccer is… I’m getting interest, I’m looking. I’m following football because it’s on TV. I think team Seattle have got so many supporters. It’s unbelievable,” said Mosimane.

“And it’s coming up well, oh, and by the way, the player I coached at Bafana Bafana, Bradley Carnell, is a head coach in Major League Soccer.

“If he got the chance, probably, I can also get the chance [to coach in MLS],” added Mosimane.

And while coaching in Arab countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia remains a possibility, Mosimane’s new interest in MLS will undoubtedly raise eyebrows.
