Less than 24 hours after his Al Ahly departure Pitso Mosimane has already been linked with a new club.
The South African tactician asked Al Ahly’s board to be released from his contract, which president Mahmoud El-Khatib and Co. agreed to, announcing the coach’s departure on Monday.
The news sent shockwaves through the African continent, with many wondering why Mosimane would step away from the Club of Century after winning five trophies in 20 months so far.
However, the latest reports by Egyptian news outlet FilGoal state that Mosimane has already received a lucrative offer to join a club in the Qatar Stars League.
‘Jingles’ had previously been linked with a move to Al-Rayyan SC, but the publication claims a different club approached the South African coach.

The 57-year-old finished his playing career at Qatari record champions Al Sadd, who appointed former Watford and Valencia coach Javi Garcia after the departure of Xavi Hernandez when he joined FC Barcelona.
South African journalist and radio host Maskepe Matsebane also stated that Mosimane has, in fact, two offers from Qatar, while Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr are also interested in his services.
Mosimane’s representatives, MT Sports must’ve been made aware of the rumours and have come out to dismiss the rumours that the South African coach is in Qatar and has already signed with a new team.
Instead, Mosimane and his technical team – Kabelo Rangoaga, Musi Matlaba and Kyle Solomon – will be heading back to South Africa, as his wife and agent, Moira Thlagale already said in an earlier statement to TimesLIVE.
