Pitso Mosimane Prepares for Legal Battle Over R8 Million Payment by Former Employers Mamelodi Sundowns

• Pitso Mosimane and Mamelodi Sundowns already have a tense relationship which is soon to get worse
• Mamelodi Sundowns wants Pitso Mosimane to pay back the money that the club paid him after he signed a contract extension
• Pitso Mosimane doesn't want to go to court to face Mamelodi Sundowns but is willing to do so if he has no choice

Pitso Mosimane is preparing for an inevitable battle with Mamelodi Sundowns in court.

The former Al Ahly head coach said that he would love to avoid going to court but would if he had no choice.

As reported by The Citizen, Mosimane has signed a contract extension with Sundowns, resulting in the club paying his commission to his wife, who is also his agent.

The money was meant to be paid in instalments but Sundowns paid the amount in a once-off lump sum. Pitso then jumped ship and signed for Al Ahly, without working out the remainder of his contract at Masandawana.

Pitso recently conducted an interview with Mahlatse Mphahlele on his podcast, PrimeSport with Mahlatse where he spoke about the possibility of a court case with Mamelodi Sundowns.

“There is a court case, but do I really want to go to court? I don’t want to. But If I have to protect my name and myself and justify, I will go to court but it is not nice for football.”

Sundowns had filed papers in the Joburg High Court in May 2021, demanding that Mosimane and his agency pay back the money, reported Sunday World.

Mosimane admitted to the publication that he had signed a contract until 2024 but that the relationship between him and the club had gotten so bad, that he could no longer work there.

Fresh from the unexpected announcement that he had chosen to part ways with the Egyptian superclub, it appears Pitso Mosimane's path is clear already.

The Red Devils announced that the 57-year-old had decided to call it quits with the Cairo-based club less than two years after signing on.

In that time, he led them to two consecutive CAF Champions League titles, two African Super Cups, two bronze medals at the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021 and 2022, and an Egyptian FA Cup.
