Pitso Mosimane Gives Update on Abha FC Coach’s Next Move After Saudi Arabia

• Pitso Mosimane's future after leaving Abha FC is unclear
• The former Sundowns coach has been linked with several clubs
• His agent has provided an update on Mosaimane's next move

After joining earlier this year, Pitso Mosimane is up and running at Abha FC in Saudi Arabia.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach has been linked with several clubs and national teams across Africa.

His agent, Moira Tlhagale, has said they are looking at different options when his four-month contract ends in the Middle East.

Mosimane was heavily linked with a move to Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs before he agreed a deal with Abha. He was also linked with the Nigerian national team, but neither has materialized.

Tlhagale says they are talking to different possible employers, but none are local. However, they are open to a local opportunity, per iDiski Times.

“I will tell you definitely, the next move the coach would like to do or the coach and the whole technical team would like to do is a national team.

“So we are looking for those options for them, that’s the mandate they have given me. But obviously, if there is a project, even local, that comes, we’ll consider it.”

In his five matches as Abha FC coach, the former Al Ahly coach has won two, lost two and drawn one. His side registered a 1-0 win over Al-Wehda the last time they met, per Far Post.

Abha are still in the relegation zone despite an upturn in form. They sit 17th in the SPL with 21 points after 24 matches, three points off safety.

Chiefs urged to take Mosimane

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Edward Manqele has advised Kaizer Chiefs to appoint Mosimane as the next permanent manager among the coaches linked with the club.
