Celebrated South African coach Pitso Mosimane has been a free agent since his unceremonious exit from Iranian outfit Esteghlal earlier in the year.
The 60-year-old has been linked to several top clubs in Mzansi and abroad, but no concrete information has emerged. Egyptian giants Zamalek are reportedly interested in Jingles as Jose Peseiro's replacement.
Premier Soccer League heavyweights Orlando Pirates are in the market for a new tactician following the exit of Jose Riveiro who was at the helm for three seasons. However, Mosimane's camp has not said anything regarding the speculations as mentioned above.
The Buccaneers legend Thabo Mngomeni is delighted that the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach has been linked with a move to the Soweto giants. He now hopes that the experienced tactician can be given a chance to continue from where Riveiro left.
Mosimane could do something at Pirates
“I was happy when they were saying Pitso was coming. I was really happy. I think he could do something or carry on what Riveiro started. Definitely, Pitso has got the capability of doing that, sure, definitely,” the Amajimbos assistant coach said as quoted by iDiski Times.
The former midfielder has further explained why Mandla Ncikazi should be retained by the club regardless of who takes over, “And what about Mandla [Ncikazi]? He has been there with Riveiro. Mandla has identified how Riveiro was doing his things.”
“I’m not saying if they put him in, he should do it that way, but he can see where they have improved. He can see where they need to improve. He should also be there, part of the team.”
Bucs will challenge for the Premier Soccer League and other domestic competitions next season. The Sea Robbers are also hoping to make an impact in the Caf Champions League after reaching the semi-finals in the concluded edition.
