Al Ahly sacks Pitso Mosimane following champions league failure
Al Ahly has announced they have parted ways with Pitso Mosimane, their head coach.
The South African era with the Cairo giants has come to an end after he has worked with Al Ahly since October 2020 after joining them from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Shockingly, the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss leaves the Cairo giants three months after he extended his contract with the club.
After a consensus meeting on Monday between Mosimane’s agent and Al Ahly’s bosses, it was decided that the coach will not continue in charge.
“Al Ahly and Pitso Mosimane reached an agreement to part ways,” Al Ahly confirmed.
“Mahmoud El-Khatib, the club’s president, held a meeting with Yassin Mansour, the chairman of Al Ahly Football Company, Hossam Ghaly, the club’s board member, and the Planning Committee members, to discuss Mosimane’s future with the club.” The letter reads.
It has also been reported that his backroom staff members, who include fitness trainer Kabelo Rangoaga as well as performance analysts Musi Matlaba and Kyle Solomon, are expected to follow him through the exit door.
In March, Mosimane had extended his Al Ahly contract by a further two years following prolonged talks.
Meanwhile, Samy Komsan is expected to take charge of the team until a new manager is appointed.
