The Kagiso-born mentor is now considered to be one of best coaches in Africa, nine years after being dismissed by Safa
Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane is reportedly not interested in the Bafana Bafana coaching job.
This is according to news coming out of Egypt, where Mosimane is currently in charge of the reigning African champions Al Ahly.
The Bafana coaching job became vacant on Wednesday with the South African Football Association having fired Molefi Ntseki after the team’s failure to qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations finals
Safa has to find a replacement for Ntseki with Bafana scheduled to start their 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying campaign in May.
One of Egypt’s leading sports websites, Fil Goal, are reporting that Mosimane is only focused on Al Ahly, having served as the Bafana head coach between July 2010 and June 2012.
“The coach rejects the idea of returning to train South Africa,” a source close told the Egyptian site.
“Mosimane is only thinking of continuing with Al Ahly and he is not enthusiastic to lead the national team, even if it’s a dual role with the Al Ahly job
“In 2019, Mosimane refused to coach the team to succeed Stuart Baxter because he was convinced that he had a lot [of work] ahead of him.”
