Orlando Pirates Supporters and Kaizer Chiefs Legend Want Pitso Mosimane as Amakhosi’s New Coach

• Pitso Mosimane's contract with Abha Club expires at the end of the current season
• Kaizer Chiefs are on the hunt for a new manager and have been linked with Jingles
• Mamelodi Sundowns' Manqoba Mngqithi is also a consideration for the Amakhosi

Should Kaizer Chiefs focus all their efforts on trying to sign Pitso Mosimane ahead of the new season?

The South African tactician is contracted to Abha Club until the end of the current season and is yet to sign an extension with the side.

Mosimane’s wife and manager also recently confirmed that they were not happy with the offer from the Saudi Pro League team for next season and were talking to other clubs as well.

The news gave hope to Chiefs’ supporters, as did Mosimane’s admission that he could return to South Africa.

As noted by City Press, Jingles stated that South African clubs could afford to hire him and that ‘If they want to rebuild, they should put their money where their mouth is.’

Who wants Pitso at Chiefs?

With the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss seemingly available and affordable, it’s no surprise that football fans, even rival ones, would like to see him at the Naturena.

But it wasn’t just Mosimane’s name that came up; Manqoba Mngqithi’s also did.

The Amakhosi legend recently named Mosimane and Mngqithi as the only two men who could lead the Glamour Boys, FAR Post reported.

“The two people I will put on my list would be a Pitso, and if you can’t get Pitso, then you go for Manqoba Mngqithi.

“If not those two, I don’t see any local coach or even foreign coach in the country who’s good enough to steer the ship,” he said.

Chiefs’ Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung confirmed that there will definitely be a new coach in charge next season, so fans and Baloyi will have to wait and see who that person is.
