Egyptian legend Hassan Shehata has weighed in on Pitso Mosimane’s sudden departure from Al Ahly.

Shehata was head coach of Egypt between 2004 and 2011 and led the national team to three consecutive AFCON titles during that time.

Shehata, who is considered one of the greatest managers in African football history, described Pitso as ‘one of the greatest coaches’ as reported by iDiski Times and added that he was surprised by the South African’s departure.

He added that Pitso wasn’t focused during his last few weeks at the club and that led to the drop in form.

“Certain things did not give him the right to continue with Al Ahly, I consider him one of the greatest coaches and he did a great job with Al Ahly, but the things that were offered to him from Qatar made him think a lot,” he said.

Shehata also believes that Pitso’s recent comments he made in the media were also one of the reasons he left, Soccer Laduma confirmed.

"His recent actions and comments were the reasons behind his departure," he said.

In a bombshell of note, Al Ahly and Pitso Mosimane are no longer in a union.
