As reported on The South African website, Mosimane parted ways with Al Ahli Saudi on Tuesday, ending his season-long deal with the Saudi Arabian outfit.

This despite publicly saying that Al Ahli had an option to extend his contract for a further year if he promotes them back to Saudi Pro League.

However, the fact that Al Ahli were seemingly dragging their feet in triggering that option coupled with unpaid salaries for five months could have led to his resignation.

Now, for weeks leading up to these latest developments,  a section of Chiefs fans campaigned for the club to acquire the services of Mosimane.

Aborting the Nabi mission wouldn’t be ideal, especially if there hasn’t been any talks with Mosimane, who said so himself over a week ago.
