Ahead of Al Ahly's Champions League tie against Mamelodi Sundowns, Pitso Mosimane has revealed that he is unconcerned about receiving more abuse from sections of his former club.

Mosimane returned to Sundowns last season when his reigning African champions Al Ahly met Masandawana in the CAF Champions League quarter-final.

Despite enjoying a highly-successful spell at Chloorkop, where he won no fewer than 11 major honours, the decorated coach was met by distasteful scenes when the Ahly bus was stormed by unruly fans, as reported by Kick Off.

The tension spilled over into the dressing rooms and the pitch, where Mosimane claimed to have received more abuse from members within the opposition camp, but he is unconcerned about a potential repeat scenario when the sides meet in Pretoria next month.

Mosimane said at the South African Football Journalists Association:

"That's not up to me. I can't get worried about what you can't control. I was at that team for eight years. I know that team in and out, and I know what happened and who organised that. I know everything."

Mosimane one a Champions League title as well as a Super Cup trophy with Sundowns. He then won these same trophies twice in a row in Egypt with the Red Devils.

He then delivered two consecutive bronze medals at the FIFA Club World Cup, the most recent one coming last weekend.

As reported on Sports Brief, the three-time CAF Champions League winner is known for his forthrightness, and did not pull any punches about perceived prejudices against African coaches overseas.

He was speaking at a press conference of the South African Football Journalist Association, where he was frank about his prospects of one day coaching in Europe.
