PITSO MOSIMANE THE FAN-FAVOURITE

With a South African ID and as the only PSL coach with a record of five league titles, Mosimane is logically Chiefs fans’ favourite.

But it does not look easy.

1. Pitso’s salary

Chiefs are understood to be experiencing financial curbs. After earning massive US dollar salaries at Al Ahly, Al Ahly Saudi and Al-Wahda, Pitso may be a bit too expensive to afford.

2. Pitso’s technical team salaries

After rejecting the Tunisian Nasreddine Nabi for wanting to arrive with his own technical assistants, Pitso also has his five-man entourage of technical support. Paying them will cost plenty of Rands.

3. Transfer demands

As with many top coach around the globe, Mosimane loves to make transfer decisions and sign high-quality players. Will Chiefs be able to meet his transfer demands?

4. Outspoken

Chiefs, as with many leading teams around the world, prefer to have coaches with a diplomatic media style and personality, especially when the pressure is high with things not going so well. Pitso is a man who approaches the media with his heart on his sleeve.
