Al Ahly President Mahmoud El Khatib has congratulated Pitso Mosimane, who’ll be honoured with a Doctorate by the University of Johannesburg this week.
Mosimane had invited the Al Ahly boss to attend the ceremony this week, but was unable to attend.
However, he sent a special message to the coach who won two CAF Champions League medals and a bronze at the FIFA Club World Cup during his time with the Egyptian champions.
“El Khatib congratulates Mosimane on his honorary doctorate Mahmoud El Khatib, our president, received a generous invitation from Pitso Mosimane, former manager of Al Ahly, to attend a ceremony, honouring the South African coach and awarding him an honorary doctorate from the University of Johannesburg on 24
July, in recognition of his successful football career,” the statement said.
“Mosimane, in his invitation, emphasized the strong bond he shares with El Khatib and expressed hope for his presence at the prestigious occasion.
“El Khatib expressed his gratitude to the invitation and his deep appreciation for Mosimane as one of Africa’s most distinguished coaches.
“El Khatib wished he could travel to South Africa to celebrate the occasion with Mosimane, but he will not be able to attend the ceremony as he will be away on a medical journey.”
