Roger De Sa says he is excited to join the Egyptian national team and is looking forward to catch up with fellow South African coach Pitso Mosimane.
Mosimane is a head coach of Egypt’s Al Ahly, both coaches have played football together during their playing times and coached against each other in the South Africa Premiership Soccer League.
The former Bidvest Wits, Orlando Pirates and Ajax Cape Town coach signed a contract with the Egyptian FA to be the assistant to Carlos Queiroz, who has just recently been appointed head coach.
De Sa was speaking to Rob Delport in an exclusive interview in the latest edition of iDiski Times.
“That’s good news, isn’t. We can have a couple of reunions and get togethers, which is always good. Ja, looking forward to catching up with Pitso of course, and everybody else,” De Sa told iDiski Times.
“And Pitso, I’m sure Pitso will keep me up for a couple of hours because he can talk forever about football. We’ve always got on, we played together, we played against each other, we coached against each other as well.
“I think we started pretty much at the same time. No, always good to catch up and chat, it goes for hours and hours, and eventually I get a word in.”
