• Pitso Mosimane is in search of a new managerial role
• The famous manager recently parted ways with Al Wahda
• Mosimane has had successful stints in South Africa and Egypt

Pitso Mosimane is the most wanted African manager in football at the moment as the former Bafana Bafana coach has been linked with almost all the top jobs on the continent and in Asia.

The 59-year-old manager is one of the longest-serving and most decorated coaches in all of South African football, having won multiple major trophies in South Africa and Egypt.

According to KingFut, Mosimane has been without a club since his departure from Emirati giants Al Wahda last November after just 10 games in charge of the Asian club.

Before the Al Wahda job, the former SuperSport manager won the CAF Champions League once with Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016 and twice with Egyptian giants Al Ahly in 2020 and 2021.

Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak have openly said that Mosimane would be their new coach.
