Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane has tested positive for the Covid-19, the Egyptian club has confirmed.

MOSIMANE WILL SELF-ISOLATE

The new Egyptian Premier League got underway last weekend with Mosimane’s side recording a comfortable 3-1 win over Misr Lel Makkasa.

Al Ahly have now confirmed that the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach will self-isolate after testing positive for the coronavirus.

The club’s statement read: Al Ahly’s head coach Pitso Mosimane tested positive for COVID-19. Mosimane will be subjected to the home isolation regime, set by the Ministry of Health.

As a result, Mosimane will miss Friday’s league clash against Ghazl El Mahalla.

Mosimane’s wife has reportedly also tested positive for Covid-19.
