Pitso Mosimane part ways with Al Ahly

Pitso Mosimane has left Egyptian giants Al Ahly after the serial Caf Champions League winner and the club reached an agreement on Monday to go their separate ways.

Al Ahly have confirmed the departure on their official website.

It is also understood Mosimane is leaving the club with his trusted lieutenants in fitness guru Kabelo Rangoaga and performance analysts Musi Matlaba and Kyle Solomon.

Ahly’s statement read: “Al Ahly and Pitso Mosimane have reached an agreement to part ways.

“Mahmoud El Khatib, the club’s president, held a meeting with Yassin Mainsour, the chair 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.

“Mosimane’s decision was discussed and it was decided to approve his request to part ways with the club, and to thank him for his achievements with Ahly.”

Mosimane has won five trophies since his bombshell move from Mamelodi Sundowns to Ahly in September 2020, including back-to-back Caf Champions League titles in 2019-20 and 2020-21.

Ahly missed out on a record-breaking third title in succession losing 2-0 to Wydad Athletic in the 2021-22 final, which was controversially played at the home venue of the Moroccan club in Casablanca.

The coach also won the Egyptian Cup and the Caf Super Cup twice at Ahly.
