Pitso Mosimane Is in High Demand, Qatar Club Monitors the South African’s Contract Negotiations With Al Ahly

• Pitso Mosimane is considered to be Africa's best coach and as such numerous clubs are after his signature
• Mosimane and Al Ahly are yet to renew the coaches contract at the Egyptian club which expires at the end of the season
• Qatar club Al-Rayyan SC are interested in signing Pitso if his contract with Al Ahly is not renewed

Pitso Mosimane's contract with Egyptian club Al Ahly expires at the end of the current season and both sides are yet to agree on a new deal.

The news that Pitso has yet to sign a new deal has got many clubs interested in his services.

Goal.Com reported that Pitso wanted a new three-year deal worth $200 000 a month. According to the report, Pitso currently earns $140 000 a month and Al Ahly bosses were hesitant to give the South African coach a raise.

With contract talks still not finalised, The South African reports that Al-Rayyan SC could swoop for Pitso's signature. The super-rich club plays in the Qatar Stars League and are currently coached by French legend Laurent Blanc.

The club has only won four games this season and could be looking to bring in a proven match-winning coach to turn the tide at the club.

Fans though remain divided on where Pitso should go next. Some fans think that moving to a big-money club will be good while others think that he needs to go to a top European side now.

@Maliqo:

"To even think I once wanted Blanc to coach Arsenal. All these time he is Qatar. That league not only destroying players, they will destroy many coaches. I wish and hope Pitso must never intertain them. From Egypt he must look for work in world top 5 league now."

@sabelokazi:

"Al Duhail is a big team that’s not doing well at the moment. He must go make money for his family."

"Good new for our soil son..."
