In other news related to Pitso Mosimane, Sports Brief earlier reported that Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane's involvement in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League and Confederation Cup draw has come under heavy criticism from fellow coaches.

Pitso was chosen by CAF to headline the draw, which saw his side Al Ahly drawn into the same group as his former side Mamelodi Sundowns. Pitso's participation in the draw has raised a lot of questions from fellow coaches and Al Merreikh's vice president, Adel Abugreisha, has taken it one step further by lodging a protest with CAF, The South African reported.

Al Merrikh were drawn alongside fellow Sudan team Al Hilal, Mamelodi Sundowns and Pitso's Al Ahly. Following the draw Abugreisha criticised CAF's decision to have Mosimane in the draw as he is a coach for one of the teams participating in the tournament.
