Former Mamelodi Sundowns Pitso Mosimane has spoken about his connection to Kaizer Chiefs recently.
Last week, the 61-year-old tactician attended the celebratory event of Amakhosi legend Doctor Khumalo.
The former midfielder was given an Honorary Doctorate in Philosophy by Tshwane University of Technology [TUT].
Mosimane, who has been linked to the Kaizer Chiefs job in recent years, explained why he has always been connected to the club.
“It’s a small world. Doc’s [Khumalo] father was the one putting me in the car. Football is a small world, and we belong to one family. It’s a big, but very small family,” Mosimane said as per FARPost.
“I’m part of the Kaizer Chiefs family because of my son. It’s a big, small family. My uncles, one played for Pirates, the other played for Chiefs, the one who trained Doc.”
“It’s an ecosystem, we come from one place, one family.”
Mosimane continues to be linked with Kaizer Chiefs
“There are a lot of stories to tell from these things. We come from the township, we come from humble beginnings,” Pitso added.
“Football gave us a chance to be people, to be recognised, to be acknowledged.
“Football saved us from the township. I’m not saying the township is not good; we belong there, my family is still there.”
Mosimane is still without a club and remains to be seen if Kaizer Chiefs can finally bring him to the club. Currently Amakhosi are coach by Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.
