Where will Pitso Mosimane end up next, and will he win trophies there?
That's the big question being asked after the South African coach reportedly became a free agent once again.
SABC Sport has reported that Mosimane is back on the market after terminating his contract with Al-Ahli Saudi. The South African manager has yet to verify the news, but eNCA have reported on it as well.
Mosimane's time in Saudi Arabia
The South African tactician was only at the club for one season, leading them to the Yelo League title and earning them promotion back to the Saudi Pro League.
Jingles had signed a contract with the Saudi club for one season but had a clause that triggered an extra year if he could secure promotion to the Pro League.
Despite his successes, Al-Ahli were said to be looking for a higher-profile coach to lead them next season, with AS Roma's Jose Mourinho on their shortlist.
