Three-time CAF Champions League-winning coach Pitso Mosimane has penned a deal with Persian Gulf Pro League giants Esteghlal Football Club.
He replaced Iran and club legend Javad Nekounam in the head coach role at the nine-time league champions with immediate effect.
The change was made due to the poor start to the season, where the two-time Asian Champions League winners are languishing 11th in the 16-team league after seven games.
He joins the club with assistant coach Maahier Davids, Strenght and Conditioning Coach Kabelo Rangoaga, along with his trusted analysts Musi Matlaba and Kyle Solomon.
Esteghlal are currently in the AFC Champions League, within the 12-team Group B, alongside Saudi Pro League sides Al Hilal, Al Nassr and his former club Al Ahli.
