  • Morgan Mammila has suggested that Pitso Mosimane will return to South Africa next season
  • Mosimane manages Abha Club in the Saudi Pro League, but his current contract expires soon
  • Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with a move for Mosimane before and are still interested in him

Is Pitso Mosimane going to be coaching in the DStv Premiership next season?

If Morgan Mammila’s tweet is to be believed, then Jingle will be back in the country next season.

While Mosimane is still in Saudi Arabia, where he coaches Abha Club, his contract with the side expires at the end of the current season.

Pitso Mosimane could join a host of DStv Premiership sides if he returns to South Africa.

The length of his current deal has led to speculation over what he will do next, with Mammila seemingly answering that.

The Chippa United Technical Director confused local football fans when he posted that Mosimane would be back home next season.

The former Al Ahly boss last coached a South African side in 2020, when he was in charge of Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sports Brief now looks at four sides he could manage if he does return.

Four teams Pitso could join

Kaizer Chiefs

The Glamour Boys have shown interest in Mosimane in the past and could still jump at the chance to sign him.

Cavin Johnson is currently the side's interim manager, but the club is looking for a permanent replacement.

Last month, Mosimane's agent confirmed they were talking to a few clubs about his future, GOAL reported.

Chippa United

Given that Mammila made the comments, it would be no surprise to see Jingles head up the Chilli Boys.

Mammila is currently the team’s Technical Director and could try to land a big fish like Mosimane. Kwanele Kopo and Thabo September co-coach the team, but the duo aren’t doing too bad a job.

The Chilli Boys are in 10th place, five points away from fifth in the league, and are still in the Nedbank Cup. Siva Mpengesi is known for firing his team’s managers, so September and Kopo can’t get too comfortable.

Moroka Swallows

With Swallows chairman David Mogashoa also mentioned in the tweet, could Jingles take over the Dube Birds?

Swallows are in need of a turnaround as they languish in 14th place, eight points above the relegation zone. Musa Nyatama is the interim coach, and he took over when Steve Komphela was relieved of his duties.

Komphela was Mosimane’s assistant when the latter was in charge of Bafana Bafana.

AmaZulu FC

The KwaZulu-Natal side appointed Pablo Franco Martin in June 2023, but things haven’t gone as hoped since.

AmaZulu have only one league game in 2024, and two games in the Nedbank Cup. They are currently 12th in the league, but Martin admitted that he isn’t feeling the pressure yet, FarPost noted.

Owner Sandile Zungu is no stranger to ringing in the changes and has the money to bring in a big name like Mosimane to take over the Usuthu.
