Pitso Mosimane Opens Up About His Future Coaching Plans

• Pitso Mosimane has finally spoken out about his next coaching adventure after leaving the Saudi Pro League last season
• The legendary Mamelodi Sundowns manager is rumored to possibly return to the Premier Soccer League
• The South African mastermind shares what type of coaching role excites him right now

Listen up, folks. South African coaching legend Pitso Mosimane has decided to break his silence and open up about the latest coaching offers that have come his way since parting ways with Saudi Professional League's Abha Club at the end of last season. This guy isn’t just any coach—he’s a game-changer, and everyone’s eager to know where he’ll land next.

Mosimane, affectionately known in South Africa as Mzansi, has been linked to a possible return to the Premier Soccer League. You might remember that he was also in talks for the Kaizer Chiefs job, but things didn’t pan out as the Soweto giants eventually chose Nasreddine Nabi. Now, at 60, the veteran coach is itching to get back into action and has reportedly received a tempting offer from somewhere on the African continent.

Mosimane Spills the Tea on Job Offers

According to iDiskiTimes, Mosimane recently sat down with SABC Sport and revealed that he’s particularly interested in taking the reins of a national team after years of dominating the club scene. With an impressive track record of winning countless club football titles, Mosimane is widely regarded as one of Africa’s best managers. During the interview, the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss elaborated on the kind of national team he’d be excited to work with.

Let me break it down for you. Mosimane explained that while he’s had plenty of success with clubs, the allure of leading a national team to glory is something that really gets his blood pumping. Here’s what he had to say:

“The World Cup I’ve done with a country was once,” the former Al Ahli coach stated. “So maybe with the national team, that interests me more [than with a club]. And also, the national team doesn’t mean just anyone. A national team that you think you can take all the way to the semi-final.”

“And when you go to the semi-final, you aim for the final, and when you’re in the final, you might as well win it.”

The South African coach also shared that he received offers from two West African national teams. However, he explained why those deals didn’t come to fruition. According to Mosimane, there were some pretty significant bureaucratic hurdles to overcome.

“We had calls with even West African countries, two! And ones I said, ‘Yeah, these are the ones,’” he added. “But things are done differently in those spaces.”

“You ask yourself what happened, there’s a space, the call comes back… It’s difficult to [understand] when there is space for the ministry and the football federation.”

“There are always clashes somewhere there, the ministry because they pay for the coach, they want this coach, the football federation want that coach. Hopefully, we’ll get one that goes together.”

Mosimane Draws Parallels Between Sundowns and Real Madrid

Why Sundowns is Like the European Giants

Briefly News previously reported that Mosimane compared Mamelodi Sundowns to the illustrious European giants, Real Madrid. This comparison isn’t just hype—it’s a testament to the incredible legacy Mosimane built during his time with the team. Over eight years as the Masandawana coach, Mosimane racked up an astonishing 11 titles, including five PSL trophies. That’s no small feat, folks.

Mosimane’s vision for Sundowns was nothing short of transformative. He took the club to new heights, establishing them as one of Africa’s top teams. His leadership wasn’t just about winning trophies; it was about creating a culture of excellence and consistency. For those who witnessed his tenure, it’s easy to see why he holds Sundowns in such high regard. The man knows talent, and he knows how to bring out the best in his players. Now, as he looks to his next chapter, the world waits with bated breath to see where this football genius will go next.
