Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has revealed that he’s not pressed to find a new job immediately and it would take an important offer to prevent him from spending Christmas with his family.
Mosimane, 56, left Al Wahda in November after just 10 games in charge of the United Arab Emirates side – which was the shortest stint at a club of his managerial career.
When asked about his future plans during an exclusive press conference with the South African Football Journalist Association (SAFJA) Mosimane explained that his first priority is to spend Christmas with his family instead of rushing into a new job.
“We need to know what’s the team like, what do they want, what do they expect us to do and what’s the vision,” Mosimane told SAFJA.
“Then we start to say ‘ok, that’s interesting. It’s a good project’. The vision of the team also is important.
“It’s not about me sending my CV to clubs and all that. Yes, I’m not boasting [but] we can get employed next week, if we want. It’s not all about that.
“I also just want to spend Christmas at home (laughs). Let me see my children, have Christmas, let me have food at home.
“When I’m back from my holiday, just before Christmas, eight to 10 days… I just don’t want to disturb that space of eight to 10 days before Christmas, and Christmas to New Years Eve.
“I think the best time for to really, really go back to work is maybe after that space, when I’ve seen my family. My children are all around, schools are closed.
“To move now it must be a very, very big urgency. It must be worth that I must cancel the holiday with my children and spend Christmas away from home.”
