Jomo Cosmos boss, Sono, speaks about Pitso Mosimane and Arthur Zwane

Both Zwane and Mosimane made their names with Ezenkosi back in the day and Sono says the two former players have made him proud: He told TimesLIVE:

“It doesn’t get bigger than that, especially in Africa. And it makes us as the Cosmos family proud and humble to see two of our products as coaches qualifying to the highest final in Africa. We don’t want to take the glory, but in life, it’s where you started. It started at Cosmos. Arthur Zwane we sent to Santos in Brazil. So he learned a trade, playing for Cosmos and watching how we do things, and then also overseas at Santos. Pitso also went overseas to Greece.

“They learned a lot. They came back as strong human beings with different cultures in their football knowledge. And we feel very proud. We are saying, we might be in the GladAfrica Championship but Cosmos is a seed. It’s a seed that you throw in the desert – it takes time to grow but in the end, when it does grow from a small tree it will end up in the final of the Africa Cup. As a South African, when it comes to football I would like Kaizer Chiefs to win. But when it comes to those two coaches I want both of them to win.”

“My teams always score. There’s always a goal at Al Ahly. We can score. And we score even when you think there’s no goal. Don’t underestimate Chiefs, hey. There’s a goal there. Samir Nurkovic can always sneak one in. He can always score. The Champions League is a different kettle of fish – it is played with extensive experience. It is not how good you are and not how good you pass the ball.”
