Pitso Mosimane signs with club in Saudi Arabia

Pitso Mosimane returns to Saudi Arabia for a new job.

The coach signs with Saudi Arabia Pro League side Abha Football Club on a short-term four-month contract.


MT Sports MD Moira Tlhagale revealed the news to Sunday World.

“I can confirm to you that coach Pitso has officially signed with Saudi Arabia club Abha FC on Thursday.”

“Coach Pitso will be returning to the Gulf and has signed a four-month contract with the team until the end of the season.”

“His mandate is clear and that is to ensure that Abha survives relegation and plays in the Pro League again next season.”

Abha reportedly offered the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly mentor an 18-months deal, however, Mosimane’s management opted for a short-term deal.

His success story began with Sundowns, where steered them into winning their first-ever Caf Champions League title, before joining Egyptian giants Al Ahly and winning two Caf Champions League titles in two seasons.
