Renowned South African coach, Pitso Mosimane, is redirecting his attention away from club coaching opportunities and toward a potential role with a national team, with the Nigeria job currently vacant.
This shift in focus has been disclosed by Mosimane's agent and Managing Director of MT Sports, Moira Tlhagale.
Currently overseeing a short-term contract with Saudi Pro League club Abha Club, the 57-year-old's primary objective is steering the team clear of relegation by the season's end.
Despite expressions of interest from various parties, Tlhagale clarified that discussions with South African clubs are not underway.
“Locally, no, we are not in talks with any club. I will tell you definitely the next move that the coach and his entire technical team would like to do. It is a national team project. We are looking at those options for a national team project because that’s the mandate that they’ve given me. But obviously, if there is any other project that comes, even local, we will consider it" she said, as quoted by Sunday World.
Tlhagale stressed the importance of including Mosimane's technical team and a collaborative approach to player recruitment in their next project.
Pitso Mosimane’s agent Moira Tlhagale explains why they insisted on a four-month contract with ???????? Abha Club.
