Ghana Premier League side Hearts of Oak are dreaming of appointing former Mamelodi Sundowns manager Pitso Mosimane as their new coach amid the South African's links with Kaizer Chiefs.

There were reports also linking him with a return to the Egyptian Premier League (EPL), with Zamalek being at the forefront.

In a recent interview, Hearts of Oak board member, Vincent Odotei Sowah acknowledged that the club are interested in bringing Mosimane to the Ghanaian Premier League, according to a report by iDiskiTimes.

"Those of us in charge of Hearts of Oak now, we want to bring someone like Pitso Mosimane," he said.

Sowah went further to disclose what could stop the 21-time Ghana Premier League champions from hiring the South African tactician.

"Can we afford him? Do you know how much he was paid being at Al Ahly? The point I am trying to make is that, when appointing a coach, a lot of considerations come into play," he added.
“If the fans are patient with us a bit, we believe we will get to a stage where we can attract world-class coaches."

Mosimane opens up on latest job offers

Sports Brief previously reported on Mosimane discussing the latest job offers he received amid recent links to DStv Premiership side, Kaizer Chiefs.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor has been without a coaching job since parting ways with the United Arab Emirates league side, Al Wahda.

Mosimane gave an exclusive interview with South African journalists earlier this month, stating he was not in a rush to find a new role before Christmas.
