Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has reportedly agreed to terms to join a new club amid links with Premier Soccer League side Kaizer Chiefs.
The former SuperSport boss has been linked with a return to the South African league since parting ways with United Arab Emirates club side Al Wahda.
The 59-year-old is rated as one of the elite coaches out of Africa as he has won the CAF Champions League thrice and won the FIFA Club World Cup bronze twice.
Mosimane's successes with the different clubs he has worked with haven't gone unnoticed outside Africa.
According to a report by Saudi publication Arriyadiyah as per Kingfut, the former Bafana Bafana manager has agreed on terms with Saudi Pro League side Abha Club despite being Kaizer Chiefs' top target.
Reports have it that the former Sundowns boss will resume his new job this weekend, which is a return to the Middle East after working with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia and Al Wahda in UAE.
Abha Club are currently struggling in the Saudi Pro League and are 17th on the table and are already out of the King's Cup.
AmaKhosi will have to continue searching for a new permanent manager if they lose Mosimane to the Saudi Arabian side.
Cavin Johnson could get the job permanently, but the Glamour Boys are also looking at Zimbabwean coach Callisto Pasuwa.
