Pitso Mosimane has a new job at ex-Nasreddine Nabi’s team!

Pitso Mosimane is set to work with Tanzanian Premier Soccer League outfit Young Africans SC, commonly referred to as Yanga SC.

The experienced and celebrated tactician has won a total of 20 major trophies in South Africa and abroad. However, he has been out of action since parting ways with the Iranian outfit Esteghlal.

Recently, Mosimane was in Tanzania with ex-Kaizer Chiefs Nasreddine Nabi's former club Young Africans SC who have launched their club's youth academy Yanga Soccer School.

Yanga welcome Mosimane

“We have spoken with coach Pitso Mosimane, who has accepted our request to provide training for our youth coaches. Our aim is to utilise his football philosophy and strengthen ours as well,” Said Hersi Said, who is Yanga's president, told the media.

 “We are very grateful to coach Mosimane for accepting the invitation to join us on this historic day.

“The project is a continuous one, where we will take children under the age of 11 (U-11), under the age of 13 (U-13), and under the age of 15 (U-15). 

“We will not limit ourselves to the Dar es Salaam region alone, but we will expand our scope to various parts of Tanzania. This platform will help us a lot in raising talents, which we can use in our youth teams,” Hersi concluded. 

Mosimane welcomes a new challenge

The 61-year-old is determined to start his new journey as a trainer of the academy coaches, hoping it will pay dividends.

“I would like to sincerely thank the president of Yanga SC. The president and I have been close friends for a very long time,” Jingles said during the launch.

“I once came here for the Mwananchi Day festival. It was truly a unique and very successful day. Yanga fans love their team deeply. Congratulations. You are a model to others.  

“On Mwananchi Day, I was very impressed by the energy of the supporters. While we were in the car, I told the Yanga president, ‘Start a football academy.’ I am very happy that today I am here at the launch,” Mosimane added.

“A special congratulations to my long-time friend and CEO of Yanga SC, Andre Mtine. Mtine has extensive experience in African football. He has done a great job in DR Congo with Mazembe.

“I think everyone realizes that Mazembe's success cannot be forgotten. Congratulations on the great work you are doing for Yanga players,” he concluded.
