Speaking on his Tik Tok page, the former Bafana Bafana boss said:

"Which one? Anyone or Bafana Bafana? There's nothing stopping me from doing [the] national team again. It is something that is still on my plate. It's unfinished business for me to be honest. That's the only place I have never won a trophy. Why not?"

Mosimane admitted that coaching a national team remained a 'thorn in his flesh'.

"Maybe a [Africa] Cup of Nations. You never know. Anything can happen. If we dream big... An African nation winning the World Cup. It is possible. There are always possibilities. You can never say 'never'. I would love to, especially now with this opportunity of 11 African teams in the next world cup. Everybody has a chance there."

This is sure to set the rumour mill turning as fans and pundits attempt to figure out the coach's next move.

Mosimane names greatest left-winger

Sports Brief previously reported on Mosimane giving thoughts on the 'greatest of all time' debate.

The respected coach was asked about the greatest left-winger he had ever seen playing football.

Answering via his Tik Tok page, Mosimane chose two players in a diplomatic response.

Mosimane's name chanted by supporters

Sports Brief also reported on Al Ahli Saudi proving victorious in the Saudi First Division League recently, running out 2-0 winners against Ohod.

This saw Mosimane's team remain in second place on 43 points after 21 games, equal to leaders, Al Hazm, with the teams separated by goal difference.

Following the game, Mosimane shared a tweet of Saudi supporters chanting his name in an Arabic song and shared his unusual post-match meal.
