South African coaching legend Pitso Mosimane is reportedly on the verge of being appointed as the new head coach of Egyptian giants Zamalek SC. The move would mark Mosimane’s return to North African football after previous successful stints with Al Ahly and Al Wahda.
The 59-year-old tactician, who has been without a club since leaving UAE’s Al Wahda earlier this year, is believed to have reached an agreement with the Cairo-based club. His potential arrival comes as Zamalek look to strengthen their position in the Egyptian Premier League and compete for continental honors.
Mosimane’s impressive track record in Africa – including three CAF Champions League titles – makes him a high-profile acquisition for the White Knights. His appointment would set up a fascinating rivalry with his former club Al Ahly, where he achieved legendary status.
The deal, once finalized, would see Mosimane take charge of one of Africa’s most storied clubs as they prepare for the new season. Zamalek fans will be hoping the South African can replicate the success he achieved with their arch-rivals across the city.
