Al Ahly were without numerous players for their first game, due to the AFCON tournament going on at the same time and Pitso was not shy to speak out about the issue.

"CAF and FIFA arrange games on top of each other. It's amazing," Sport24 quoted Mosimane as saying.

"It's unbelievable how this happens, it's like nobody knew when the Cup of Nations was, and nobody knew when the FIFA Club World Cup was.

Pitso added that Africa would always be compromised and that ‘the scale was not proper when it came to Africa and Europe.’

Fans took to social media to respond to Pitso’s comments, agreeing with the coach that African football was always looked down upon.

@BanksTsepo:

"FIFA needs to acknowledge it's unjust conduct against Africa in general."

@Vc_Vncm:

"Because FIFA is an anti-African organisation"

@jedzah:

"From my own stand point, it's all about the amount of sponsorship deals coming from African organisations. We give little hence our participation base and benefits are very limited"

Pitso Mosimane's comment about African clubs hiring African coaches causes uproar, not all agree with Jingles

Pitso Mosimane is considered to be Africa’s best coach and his credentials speak for themselves. Pitso’s signature has been sought after by clubs and countries alike, and he is highly respected among peers and fans, but it’s his recent comments that have caused division, Sports Brief reported.

Praising the work done by Aliou Cissé with Senegal, Mosimane took to Twitter to comment that Africa needed to hire Africans as coaches. Cissé is a former Senegal player who has now led his country to the final of AFCON as a coach.

Using Cissé as an example of why hiring local coaches works, Mosimane added that coaches from other continents must be able to show the trophies they had won in their career before they were hired.
