South African tactician, Pitso Mosimane, is set to face a defining moment in his future as Abha Club will know their relegation fate in the Saudi Pro League today (May 27).

It's going down to the wire on the last day as Al-Riyadh, Al-Tai, and Al-Akhdoud are also all in the relegation battle.
According to a report by FARPost, the best option for Abha Club and Mosimane to earn safety is to win their game against the already relegated Al-Hazm at the Al Hazam Club Stadium.
A draw would easily condemn Jingles' team to the Saudi league's lower division, as their other opposition, also fighting relegation, will face each other and have a better goal difference.
Al-Riyadh must avoid defeat against Al Khaleej, while Al-Tai and Al Akhdoud will face each other to avoid the drop.

FootballKaizer Chiefs will be on the lookout for Abha Club's relegation fate later today, as they are interested in appointing Mosimane as their next coach.
The South African coach is one of the frontrunners for the job alongside Sead Ramovic, and Abha's relegation from the Saudi top-flight league could increase the Glamour Boys' chances of poaching their target.
Sports Brief previously reported on Mosimane discussing signing for Kaizer Chiefs and stating his decision would not be affected by any emotions.
The former Al Ahly manager is one of the front-runners for the Amakhosi job but believes the club has to prove they are serious about their offer.
